## What it is
A PHP library for validating email addresses against multiple RFC standards (5321, 5322, 6530-6532, 1035). It offers pluggable validation strategies including RFC syntax checks, DNS checks, and spoofing detection.

## Use cases
- validate email addresses in a PHP form
- check if an email is RFC 5322 compliant
- verify email domain has valid DNS records
- reject email addresses with RFC warnings
- validate internationalized email addresses
- detect spoofed or homoglyph email addresses

## When to choose
- you need standards-compliant email validation in PHP
- you want configurable validation strategies (RFC, DNS, warnings)
- you need internationalized email address support

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple regex check
- you need to verify an email actually exists by sending mail
- you are not working in PHP

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: security, form-handling
- domain: web-development, email, developer-tools
- platform: php
- tags: email-validation, rfc-compliance, composer, syntax-validation, dns-check
