Hey there Product Hunt!
As the Head of Communications at MailTrack.io, one of my main tasks to find and guess email addresses from influencers. For that job, I created an Excel spreadsheet that combines my potential contact’s information into the most common email formats on the web (e.g.: name.lastname@company.com). Gabi García and Gil Casadevall learned about this and, on a weekend, transformed my personal file into the Email Generator, a web tool that can be used by salespeople, entrepreneurs and anyone that contacts people for a living.
I also shared my personal techniques in finding contacts through How to Find Anyone’s Email Address on the Web.
@aleyda Thanks, Aleyda. Yes, it looks very similar! I wish I knew about it before creating my spreadsheet. Anyway, it was fun though to create a good-looking version of the Excel and share it through Product Hunt! :)
@conradolamas It saves time to generate the email ids, but in case the generated ids don't exist and your email server sends out emails... there is a potential chance of your email server being black listed. Is that correct?
@sridhar_kondoji Yes! It's really a bad idea to send an email to all those combinations: remember, almost all of them do not exist. They're probable matches, and should be validated with FullContact, Rapportive, Discoverly or any other email verifier... Thanks!
Nice! Was recently thinking of making something like this as I've been doing tons of outreach like this for Donald (http://getDonald.com). Would be nice to have a more complete solution tied in with the FullContact API or Rapportive to give you the addresses that are valid immediately, instead of having to manually test each combination.
@timjahn I totally agree, Tim. Anyone who connects the principle of this tool with a verifier without the need of copying/pasting will have a very interesting product to release.
@romain_lapeyre - Oh cool, didn't know about thrust.io! Their tool does what I'm thinking but it's failing on some that I've been able to find with FullContact.
