//! `check-if-email-exists` lets you check if an email address exists without
//! sending any email.
//!
//! Under the hood, it connects to the email address's SMTP server, and,
//! analyzing the server's responses against some SMTP commands, finds out
//! information about the email address, such as:
//! - Email deliverability: Is an email sent to this address deliverable?
//! - Syntax validation. Is the address syntactically valid?
//! - DNS records validation. Does the domain of the email address have valid
//! MX DNS records?
//! - Disposable email address (DEA) validation. Is the address provided by a
//! known disposable email address provider?
//! - SMTP server validation. Can the mail exchanger of the email address
//! domain be contacted successfully?
//! - Mailbox disabled. Has this email address been disabled by the email
//! provider?
//! - Full inbox. Is the inbox of this mailbox full?
//! - Catch-all address. Is this email address a catch-all address?
//!
//! ```rust
//! use check_if_email_exists::{check_email, CheckEmailInput, CheckEmailInputProxy};
//!
//! async fn check() {
//!     // Let's say we want to test the deliverability of someone@gmail.com.
//!     let mut input = CheckEmailInput::new("someone@gmail.com".into());
//!
//!     // Optionally, we can also tweak the configuration parameters used in the
//!     // verification.
//!     input
//!         .set_from_email("me@example.org".into()) // Used in the `MAIL FROM:` command
//!         .set_hello_name("example.org".into())    // Used in the `EHLO` command
//!         .set_smtp_port(587)                      // Use port 587 instead of 25
//!         .set_proxy(CheckEmailInputProxy {        // Use a SOCKS5 proxy to verify the email
//!             host: "my-proxy.io".into(),
//!             port: 1080,
//!             username: None,                      // You can also set it non-empty
//!             password: None
//!     });
//!
//!     // Verify this input, using async/await syntax.
//!     let result = check_email(&input).await;
//!
