AcyChecker Plugin WordPress & Joomla

This is the documentation about the AcyChecker plugin on Joomla and WordPress

AcyChecker is a plugin that allows you to connect to the AcyChecker API to test the reliability of your subscribers' email addresses.

With this plugin you'll be able to block your user depending on the API response, here is the list of what the API detects:

• If an email is disposable: A disposable email address is temporary, it's convenient for people who don't want to give their real email address on any website. For your email marketing it isn't great because you send emails to non-existing users.

• If an email is registered on a free domain: This means that the email address creation was free, like Gmail or Yahoo for example. There are no cons on your side if you want to send marketing emails to them.

• If a domain is an accept all: This means that all email addresses on that domain will work, you'll be able to send emails to them but there are potentially no one receiving them.

• If the domain doesn't exist: This means that the domain doesn't exist and therefore the email address doesn't exist either. It isn't recommended to send emails to email addresses that don't exist because it impacts your IP reputation and you can be considered more easily as a spammer.

• If it's a role-based email address: Role-based email addresses are ones that do not belong to a specific user, but more to a role. For example, [e-mail] is a role-based email address.

• If it doesn't exist on the SMTP server: This means that we asked via SMTP protocol if we can send an email to this email address, and it responded that the address doesn't exist. Like the non-existing domains, it is bad for your IP reputation to send emails to a non-existing receiver.

The domain of an email address is what follows the @ sign, for example acyba.com in [e-mail].
