Output parameters

username	An username is the part of an email address that comes before the @ symbol.
domain	An email domain is the part of an email address that comes after the @ symbol. For personal emails, it is most often gmail.com, outlook.com or yahoo.com. However, in a business context, companies are almost certain to have their own email domain.
emailAddress	The email address to be verified.
formatCheck	Lets you know if there are any syntax errors in the email address. This is a basic check that’s done to catch any simple typos or major errors. This value will be 'true' if there are no errors, and 'false' otherwise. Behind the scenes, the API service is handling all these types of verification checks for you in a number of interesting ways.
smtpCheck	Checks if the email address exists and can receive emails by using SMTP connection and email-sending emulation techniques. This value will be 'true' if the email address exists and can receive email over SMTP, and 'false' if the email address does not exist on the target SMTP server or temporarily couldn't receive messages. The value will be null if the SMTP request could not be completed, mailbox verification is not supported on the target mailbox provider, or not applicable.
dnsCheck	Ensures that the domain in the email address, eg: gmail.com, is a valid domain. This value will be 'true' if the domain is good and 'false' otherwise. May be 'null' for invalid or non-existing emails.
freeCheck	Check to see if the email address is from a free email provider like Gmail or not. This value will be 'false' if the email address is not free, and 'true' otherwise. May be 'null' for invalid or non-existing emails.
disposableCheck	Tells you whether or not the email address is disposable (created via a service like Mailinator). This helps you check for abuse. This value will be 'false' if the email is not disposable, and 'true' otherwise. May be 'null' for invalid or non-existing emails.
catchAllCheck	Tells you whether or not this mail server has a “catch-all” address. This refers to a special type of address that can receive emails for any number of non-existent email addresses under a particular domain. Catch-all addresses are common in businesses where if you send an email to test@hi.com and another email to non-existent test2@hi.com, both of those emails will go into the same inbox. Possible values are 'true' or 'false'. May be 'null' for invalid or non-existing emails.
mxRecords	Mail servers list. May be absent for invalid or non-existing emails.
audit	Record update dates.
