My client wants to weed out the bad emails she has in her database. I'm
guessing however she's sending them out, she's either not getting the
bounce backs or it's too manual a process.
When I googled, I found this:
https://www.emailhippo.com/en-us/verify-email-address/api/a
I thought I'd ask if anyone here uses something else or has a tip to
share?

If you want to check if an email address is in a valid format, there are many RegEx expressions that you can use. Easy and free.
If your client is sending out lots of emails and is worried about bounces and "Unsubscribe" functionality, then I'd use a mailing service such as Mandrill by MailChimp. https://mandrill.com/ The world has gotten serious about spam and as programmers, we need to do a better job of steering our clients into a fully functioning email subscription model. Mandrill (and similar) is just such a solution.

It's not a "valid format" she's talking about. She's talking about
undeliverables. Things that are properly assembled in name@domain.ext
already.

But what she's sending to the recipients is not always the same content;
it's differing per customer. I'm not sure at this time if it's invoices
or what.

These kind of services will/should let you send email programmatically from your application.
I use Jango for one of my clients to send invoices and other individual emails.

To my mind the easiest way would be not to re-invent the wheel and just
leverage an existing email list verification service like
Validating 250,000 email addresses with that would cost you $100

Would collecting others' email addresses bring you privacy problem?
Would those email addresses be used as sending junk fax or email?
You sure that the owners of those addresses want you to collect them?
Careful about privacy and other legal issues ... :)

Oh, you think it is funny, do you, punk?
You really should not push your luck with us Canadians. You
would not like me when I am angry. (You might not like me at any
other time, but that is another matter.)
