Basic usage:

is_valid = validate_email(email_address='example@example.com', check_regex=True, check_mx=True, from_address='my@from.addr.ess', helo_host='my.host.name', smtp_timeout=10, dns_timeout=10, use_blacklist=True)

check_regex will check will the email address has a valid structure and defaults to True

check_mx: check the mx-records and check whether the email actually exists

Auto-updater

The package contains an auto-updater for downloading and updating the built-in blacklist.txt. It will run on each module load (and installation), but will try to update the content if the file is older than 5 days, and if the content is not the same that’s already downloaded.
