email-authentication gem

I created a publicly available gem email-authentication to simplify the validation of emails Full details are on email-authentication source. I have been using Amazon SES for years and was not keeping updated with their improvements to the system. Eventually I needed to update my email processing system to handle SNS notifications and also found that my lists were bouncing a lot. This gem attempts to authenticate an email address by checking the format, mx record and if the mx server accepts the recipient address.

Usage

Usage is very simple, a from address and a two address. The gem also comes with a binary file that you can use. Code:

 success,msgs=EmailAuthentication::Base.check('an email adresss','from address')
