Hey r/Wordpress,

Full disclosure: I built this, so take the pitch with the appropriate grain of salt — but I think it's genuinely useful for anyone running registration forms, WooCommerce checkouts, or Gravity/Contact Form 7 signups on WordPress.

It's called Addrly (addrly.io) — an email validation API and "signup firewall" aimed at killing fake/junk signups before they hit your database. It checks:

- Disposable/temp-mail detection

- MX record verification (does the domain actually receive mail?)

- Role account and "did you mean" typo detection

- A programmable gate you can point at signup flows to auto-block bad actors

It's a single REST endpoint, so it's pretty easy to wire into a WordPress form handler or a WooCommerce hook via a custom function or something like WP Webhooks. There's a free tier (2,500 requests/month) if anyone wants to kick the tires without commitment.

Mostly posting because I'd love feedback from people who've dealt with fake-account spam on WP sites — what's been your biggest pain point? Disposable emails, bot signups, typo'd addresses, something else? Trying to figure out what to prioritize next.

Happy to answer questions about how it works under the hood too.
