We have a list of emails on a text file that we want to check for validity.

There are several definitions for email validity:
1- Check on the format of email (masking/regular expressions)
2- Check if the email exists or not (bouncing back if email does not exist) --------------------> this is what I am asking about

Is there a way to check for the second definition of validity from within Appian?

Thanks,
Badran...

There's no out of the box to test the existence of an email address in Appian and get the response back; the Send Email node will send the email but will not notify you whether the email address exists or not.

Maybe you can explore the possibility of building a custom smart service; you should be able to find more information on Java forums online on whether it's possible to check this through the JDK
