Email domain typos / hortmail.com

Is hortmail.com a typo for hotmail.com?

Yes. hortmail.com is hotmail.com with an extra letter. ContactLint treats it as a typo: the API sets did_you_mean to the same name at hotmail.com and returns verdict risky with reason possible_typo.

Can hortmail.com receive email?

On 2026-11-04 hortmail.com had no MX record but did have an A record, so some senders will try to deliver mail to that address instead of bouncing it. The person who mistyped never gets the email.
