+This Perl module provides routines for checking validity of email address.
+
+It makes several checks:
+
+ 1. It checks the syntax of an email address.
+ 2. It checks if there any MX records or A records for the domain part of
+ the email address.
+ 3. It tries to connect to an email server directly via SMTP to check if
+ mailbox is valid. It uses a combination of MAIL and RCPT commands which
+ simulates sending an email. It can detect bad mailboxes in many cases.
