Add Email Verification to Contact Form #66

Open anusha-0129 opened 2 months ago

anusha-0129 commented 2 months ago

Describing the bug Currently, the contact form on the DEV-G website validates email addresses based on format only, without checking whether the email address actually exists. This means that users can input correctly formatted but non-existent email addresses or invalid email addresses, leading to potential issues with communication and confirmation emails not being delivered

Expected behavior To improve the user experience and ensure that valid contact information is collected, it is proposed to implement email verification in the contact form. When a user submits their email address, the system should perform a verification check to confirm that the email address exists before proceeding with form submission. If the email address is found to be invalid or non-existent, the user should be provided with feedback indicating that the email address is not valid and prompted to correct it.

So, I want to fix this bug and alert the user if user provides invalid email.
