Could you build this?
Partial The API shell is easy to build, but accurate verification depends on sending-reputation data and SMTP probing behavior that a vibe-coded wrapper won't reproduce reliably.
What it would actually take: A basic version can combine syntax checks, DNS/MX lookups, disposable and role-address lists, and SMTP handshake probing. Quality comes from catch-all detection, IP reputation rotation, and a maintained dataset of domain behavior, which takes time and operational experience. Hosting in the EU with zero retention is mostly an infrastructure and policy choice.
