Laravel package for simpler usage of zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email package to check if email really exists. It retrieves MX records for the email domain and then connects to the domain's SMTP server to try figuring out if the address really exists.

class ValidateEmailRequest extends FormRequest

            'email' => [
                'required',

                app(EmailSmtpVerified::class),
