Hello, @salim-buet03! The HostExists feature is already implemented: https://truemail-rb.org/truemail-gem/#/validations-layers?id=mx-validation. What did you mean for: is email id catchAll?, is FullInbox?, could you provide more details?

[salimH]

Great thanks for your response :)
catchAll means, some email provider domain accepts all email address like @yahoo.com
If you try to validate [e-mail], still any verify system return success. Just becoz, it's catchAll (accept-all). By the way, I have already fixed catchAll just by validating any_invalid_username@emailDomain. If it returns success then, it's catchAll (Accepting all emails).
idFullInbox : I found this return in some email validator system. It may be, email address inbox is full and not able to receive any more emails. Not sure how they do it. I am just trying to figure it out.

Thanks

Solved isFullInbox, by the error message: "552-5.2.2 The email account that you tried to reach is over quota and inactive."

@salim-buet03 Thx for details. But I think that these features are outside of scope of this library (and email validations in general).

[salimH]

you are right :)
But catchAll is really important in terms of email validation. Almost every email validator website has this feature.

No problem to process emails from providers like yahoo by custom scenario. I repeat, this is not the responsibility of this library.
