## Descrizione

This plugin validates email in realtime using live connections and aggregated data,
by leveraging the ThreatPoint email verification API service. One use of this is
to prevent spam bots inputting content into comments, easily and effectively

### External Service

This plugin allows administrators include email validation using a real time verification
service provided by the ThreatPoint email verification API.
 The Plugin uses existing
is_email functionality and passes manually entered email addresses to the restAPI
service at ThreatPoint. The response back from the ThreatPoint API provides information
related to the email validity(valid email, valid domain, disposable, free, role,
risk score). Automatically stop spam bots from entering comments onto your posts
by verifying the email address first.

The plugin calls the rest API (requires an API KEY) at [this ThreatPoint api endpoint](https://verify.threatpoint.co.uk/api/v1/resources/)

The rest API is only passed the email address from the contact form via the is_email
function. This external service is called whenever a form using is_email is used.
By default the Contact Form 7 is supported. You can include any form field name (
email address field) in the plugin to override the default. An API key is required
to utilise the service, although the plugin will operate without one it will not
be able to pass the email address or call any data from the API. Your email addresses
will not be validated without a valid API key.

### Privacy Policy

The privacy policy for the api services is viewable here [privacy policy](https://threatpoint.co.uk/privacy-policy)

This plugin only passes the email address information – no other PII is transferred.
The email address is analysed across the aggregated data within the ThreatPoint 
email verification reputation service and a risk score with email properties (valid,
free, role, disposable) to the plugin. Simple rules within the plugin dictate whether
the email address is considered valid(set through the plugin settings). The email
address is stored in the email address aggregated data and used as part of email
address consortium for all customers. No other data such as originating website 
is stored. Only the email address is held, with date, time and risk scores associated
with the request.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin work with newest WP versions and also older versions?

Yes, this plugin works with 3.5.2 and above.
 We tested on versions 3.5.2, 4.9.5
up to 5.3.2. As the plugin is simply a way of calling the api and consuming the 
response the plugin should function in most versions, although we tested mainly 
on the two versions listed.

### We have new feature suggestions for the configuration page, how do we contact you?

Please send the ThreatPoint team an email at [info@threatpoint.co.uk]. We know that
the risk decision process can vary – we are interested to hear feedback.

### Can I access the API documentation?

Yes, please use the following link to the ThreatPoint API documentation: [documentation](https://threatpoint.co.uk/documentation)

### 󠀁[Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-26247/)󠁿

 [rolandrij](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rolandrij/) 23 Maggio 2020

Following spam activity on my contact form I was looking for an email validation
plugin to use. I was able to install and use this plugin within minutes, able to
enter the email field used by theme and all worked. Have been running with it for
a while and the spam has dropped considerably. Thanks!
