Emailrep is a simple web email search tool to verify the reliability of an email address. The tool uses multiple variables to see how reliable an email address is. The site lists these features as:
> Domain age
> Dark web credential leaks
> If the address is linked to social media accounts
> Threat actor emails leaks
> If the address is linked to public records
> Data breach leaks
> Phishing emails leaks
The use of these variables can answer questions such as:
> How risky is the email address?
> Is this a use and throw account (a temporary user account created to protect your identity or for a specific purpose)?
> Existing online presence of the email address
> Does the email come from a trusted sender?
Emailrep can be used for various purposes such as:
> you can search the reputation of an address, detect/prevent fraud and detect/prevent phishing attacks.
> You can examine addresses and see what social media an email address uses.
Keep in mind that just because Emailrep can find a reliable address, that doesn’t mean you are free from threats. In fact, criminals can take possession of legitimate or counterfeit accounts.
Usage example:
curl emailrep.io/imsal@imsal.com.ar
{
"email": "imsal@imsal.com.ar",
"reputation": "none",
"suspicious": true,
"references": 0,
"details": {
"blacklisted": false,
"malicious_activity": false,
"malicious_activity_recent": false,
"credentials_leaked": false,
"credentials_leaked_recent": false,
"data_breach": false,
"first_seen": "never",
"last_seen": "never",
"domain_exists": true,
"domain_reputation": "low",
"new_domain": false,
"days_since_domain_creation": 3624,
"suspicious_tld": false,
"spam": false,
"free_provider": false,
"disposable": false,
"deliverable": false,
"accept_all": false,
"valid_mx": true,
"primary_mx": "mail.imsal.com.ar",
"spoofable": true,
"spf_strict": false,
"dmarc_enforced": false,
"profiles": []
}
}The e-mail address has almost no web presence. This makes me think that this address is a disposable account, used to protect someone’s identity. Therefore, I can simply go ahead and delete this email address and ignore its content based on the rating provided.

I highly recommend searching your email addresses using this tool. Doing this type of research can be useful to know your reputation level.
Without an account on the site I was only allowed two searches. So I decided to sign up for a free account that gives me 10 free searches per day and 250 free searches per month. Speed limits are based on a 24-hour cycle and not a calendar day. Subscription fees are as follows:
I have already started to use this tool a lot and I strongly recommend that you do too :)
