| Their pitch | Postio email validation goes past a regex: it checks syntax, resolves MX records and runs a live SMTP probe, then rolls the signals into one deliverability verdict — with flags for disposable, role and free-provider addresses. |

|---|---|
| What it checks | format, mail servers, disposable domains, role addresses |
| Keep data | no limit |
| Use data | Don't use the API for fraud, spam targeting, stalking, harassment, or anything that breaks UK law. Because the address service uses Royal Mail PAF data, you must also keep to the PAF End User Terms — in particular, don't copy, extract, resell, republish or publicly display PAF data except as those terms allow, don't use it to build a competing product, and don't try to reverse-engineer the underlying data files. Don't use automated means to scrape or bulk-harvest responses beyond your purchased lookups. |
