How to correct email address domains which are misspelled?

Question

Sometimes users misspelled their email domain and hence they enter wrong email address. Eg. [email protected] rather than [email protected]

Has anybody thought about this before? Can anybody suggest how to handle this type of mistakes?

Answer 1

Can anybody suggest how to handle this type of mistakes?

You would usually send a confirmation E-Mail to the address given, and proceed only if a link in that E-Mail has been clicked.

There is no other good way to deal with this - it's impossible to tell for sure whether gmial.com is a typo or not, seeing as it's a valid domain.

Answer 2

It didn't exist when this question was asked, but I recommend MailCheck which auto-suggests corrections to entered emails. It's used successfully by large companies.
