Antideo Email Validator

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   As a seasoned digital marketer, I have always been troubled by spam. Antideo really solved that problem and saves a tremendous amount of time and also prevents hard bounces. This helps me to capture quality leads and without negatively affecting domain authority.

   The Antideo plugin is a must have for me since I discovered it a couple of years ago. It would have been great if the plugin had an ‘Only Allow’ feature as well for allowing enquiries just from a list of whitelabelled domains. The support team also has been great responding to my inquires and being accomodative of my requests.

   After creating an account on their website, and subscribing monthly, I am unable to login to my account on their website. I have yet to get the premium Key to work on my installation. I have sent them 5 different emails through their terrible website to get access to my account. They are now ignoring me.

   This plugin gives an error for many email addresses which are correct and valid.The plugin checks the DNS-A record. If this is not present, the domain is considered invalid. Correctly the plugin should check the E-Mail DNS (MX) record. The error also occurs in the paid premium version!Support still gives no answer after 20 days.

   The Antideo Email Validator plugin provides a robust solution for ensuring email accuracy, effectively catching common typos like “hotmail.co-uk,” “hmail.com,” “hotmail.co,” and “hotmail.con.” However, there are areas in the backend that require attention and enhancement. Notably, the “Invalid Mx Record counter” is non-functional, the email log lacks time stamps, and there is no “bin” button to facilitate log deletion. Additionally, it’s observed that emails can be blocked even when the host is invalid but the Mx Record is valid. Considering that not all email hosts have associated websites, it would be beneficial for the premium version to introduce a workflow, perhaps something along the lines of: Verify Host -> If No, Check Mx Record -> If Valid, Allow. This would streamline the email validation process and enhance user experience.
