I am creating a website in Django, using django-registration-redux. I send the registration activation code to the user's email address. If the email is invalid, my website still works, but it GMail gives me a error that the address does not exist. I want my web site to validate the address, giving this for an invalid one:

"email doesn't exist".

How can I do this? My on-line searches have turned up nothing.

`but if the email is wrong website still works` what do you mean by this ? – Rohith R Sep 04 '16 at 14:54
like if i give email :abc@gmail.com it will proceed to new page but when it tries to send mail to abc@gmail.com it gives me an error on gmail but not on my website. – Rohit Chopra Sep 04 '16 at 15:01
Yes. It will only give error only on your gmail. AFAIK there is no way to check whether an email is valid, unless the mail providers themselves expose an API to do so....I know none such API...Even if there is such an API, the solution would not be generic – Rohith R Sep 04 '16 at 15:03

Send registration confirmation link to target email. Later accept as a member(`if is valid`) ! Can't accept with 1 step ! Like: stackoverflow ! – dsgdfg Sep 04 '16 at 17:18
