I'm writing this code for check yahoo account but cant response yahoo? I need write service like this site (verifyemailaddress.io) The best you can do to verify if an email address is real is to verify if there is a mail server registered to the domain name. While using the code I noticed a problem with greylisting. Greylisting is an anti-spam attempt which denies service for the first time the triple of client, sender, and address reaches the SMTP server. Greylisting will send back a temporary error (450) and therefore the address will be denied. In this case, it probably is better to accept the address as verified, because there is no better information available at that moment. import java.io.; import java.net.; import java.util.; import javax.naming.; import javax.naming.directory.*;

how can check yahoo account can guide me?
