Introduction

Usage Example:
--------------

from emailahoy import VerifyEmail, verify_email_address

# to verify and receive the response status use the class
##############################################
e = VerifyEmail()
status = e.verify_email_smtp('test@example.com')
if e.was_found(status):
print >> sys.stderr, "Found:", status
elif e.not_found(status):
print >> sys.stderr, "Not Found:", status
else:
print >> sys.stderr, "Unverifiable:", status

# to just quickly check if an email exist or not use the shorthand function

if verify_email_address('test@example.com'):
print >> sys.stderr, "Found"
else:
print >> sys.stderr, "Not found"

# Note:

If email is valid, this returns within a second
If email is not valid or unverifiable, it can take up to 5 seconds
