Its very very similar to this tool that I use to find journalists email ID's. https://www.voilanorbert.com/
But mostly email addresses this tool predicts are not true.

#12You Da Man!
I am particularly good at debugging, and I greatly enjoy it, but it is quite uncommon that I am offered purely debugging jobs.
I've had the idea of scouting around for well-financed programs that totally suck, then contacting their publishers to offer my service of fixing their broken code.
I haven't had any bites yet. Your service is very encouraging to me.

#13Without giving too much away, how does this work and / or how reliable is it? I was actually looking around for 's email and it produced one for me.
It probes the MX records.

#14Aaaand my little catch-all mailbox and receive-rule renders this tool useless. Most excellent, less spam for me :)
Re: Show HN: Little tool to find prospect's email address
#15"We cannot determine whether the email exists or not because the email service has a catch-all address." So, if you don't want to be found if someone uses that tool, then make sure you set up a catch-all address ;)

#16This tool is amazing! I think it works kind of like this: it splits firstname and lastname, tests for a response code on some random combination like "firstletterOfFirstName + last name" on a service like this http://verify-email.org/ very clever !!
Hi, you said on my chatbot ACUMAN that you would be willing to help, and that you made a similar service at age 17. BTW I'm 14 years old.

#17Cute, I assume it start SMTP sessions with different cobinations and checks if the server does not return an error after corresponding RCPT TO. It will not work with "catch-all" servers.
Hint for inproovement - so far it does not find emails with numbers like John123@gmail.com
