Nice idea for a module, but unfortunately the email-validator service that it uses only checks 100 emails per month for free; for anything more it is a paid service.

Why not offer free php-based smtp verification as another option? (Simple choice on admin page, or as a backup method to the paid service).

Here's a great little piece of code (GNU free) for php-based smtp email address verification: https://github.com/zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email

The email_verify module proposed by sirted is the way to go for anyone who wants a free, robust and standalone solution. I have the opinion that people who don't want a standalone solution are also the same people who are willing to use a 3rd party's paid/premium plan. I have edited the project node title to make it clear that this is an External Service. I have also added a few paragraphs in the description of the module to also make users aware of the Email Verify module.
