/v1/check_email

Changed on

Perform a comprehensive verification of an email address. This endpoint supersedes the previous /v0/check_email endpoint, maintaining the same input and output format. Unlike the /v0/check_email endpoint, the new /v1/check_email endpoint queues the email for verification, and the Reacher server processes the queue based on its configuration settings such as throttle and concurrency.
