Proportionate Friction Over Blanket Rejection

Naive email blockers cost revenue by rejecting good customers. CheckSignup evaluates each input into 3 clear policy directives.

ALLOW Score: 0 – 34

Legitimate Clean Signups

Valid corporate mailboxes or personal webmails with established DNS MX records. Zero friction onboarding.

  • ✓ Grant full free trial & API credits immediately
  • ✓ No secondary SMS or CAPTCHA required
  • ✓ High-confidence conversion path
REVIEW Score: 35 – 89

Conditional Friction

Privacy forwarding relays, shared role mailboxes (admin@, support@), or likely domain typos (gmial.com).

  • ✓ Suggest typo fix to save the signup
  • ✓ Require email verification OTP before bonus credits
  • ✓ Flag for manual review on suspicious billing transactions
BLOCK Score: 90 – 100

Hard Abuse Prevention

Temporary burner inboxes (GuerrillaMail, TempMail), invalid RFC syntax, or non-existent DNS MX records.

  • ✓ Block registration immediately at form level
  • ✓ Prevent promo voucher and AI token draining
  • ✓ Save downstream welcome email delivery costs

Integrate in Under 2 Minutes

Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) server support, standard OpenAPI 3.0 schema, and plug-and-play recipes for modern frameworks.


        

Engineered for High-Velocity Signups

All validations execute in-memory on distributed edge computing nodes with zero cold-start delay.

Deterministic Canonical Normalization

Automatically collapses provider-specific aliases (e.g. john.doe+promo@gmail.comjohndoe@gmail.com) to prevent duplicate trial account farms.

🛡️

75,000+ Disposable Domains

Triple-vetted threat intelligence updated continuously with strict immutable whitelists protecting legitimate corporate and educational inboxes.

🌐

Live DNS MX Verification Engine

Validates active mail exchange records via parallel single-flight DNS resolution with sub-150ms graceful degradation protection.

🔍

250+ MX Cluster Fingerprints

Identifies rotating disposable mail server networks even when throwaway domains disguise their apex DNS names.

✏️

Levenshtein Typo Recovery

Recovers genuine user signups with subtle domain typos (@gmial.com@gmail.com) to boost your signup conversion rates.

🔒

Zero Plaintext PII Storage

Strict GDPR Article 30 isolation. Only cryptographic SHA-256(email) and domain metadata are ever stored in audit logs.

Everything You Need to Know

Common questions about CheckSignup architecture, privacy, and integration.

How does canonical normalization prevent multi-account abuse? +
Major email providers ignore dots and plus tags. For example, john.doe+1@gmail.com and j.o.h.n.d.o.e@gmail.com both deliver to johndoe@gmail.com. CheckSignup deterministically normalizes these aliases to their canonical root string, allowing your database to enforce unique user registration constraints.
What is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) tool support? +
CheckSignup exposes a native MCP server endpoint. AI coding assistants (such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or Gemini) can connect directly via standard JSON-RPC to inspect and validate user emails autonomously during backend workflow generation.
How does CheckSignup protect user privacy (GDPR)? +
We operate under a strict Zero-Plaintext PII Storage model. Email addresses are processed strictly in volatile edge memory. Any persistent audit or transaction log records only the cryptographic SHA-256(email) digest alongside domain metadata.
What happens if upstream DNS servers are slow or timeout? +
With our built-in Graceful Degradation mechanism, if a live DNS query exceeds 150ms, our Edge validator returns a safe fallback verdict with degraded: true rather than hanging your user's registration form.
