{
  "input": "jane@hotmail.cm",
  "verdict": "invalid",
  "reason": "no_mx_or_a",
  "did_you_mean": "jane@hotmail.com",

Catch it on your signup form

Check the address when the person leaves the email field and offer the fix before they submit. The ContactLint widget does this in the browser with one script tag, and the API returns the same did_you_mean field for server-side checks.
