node smartRetryDoubleCheck

Configuration

const CONFIG = {
  inputFile: "ONLY_WORKING_EMAILS.xlsx",
  sheetName: "Confirmed",
  outputFile: "SMART_TRIPLE_CONFIRMED.xlsx",
  concurrency: 5,
  delayMs: 1200,
  timeoutMs: 10000,
  maxRetries: 3,
  retryDelay: 3000
};

Input Format

The input consists of an Excel sheet named "Confirmed" containing a list of emails and associated company names. The format is as follows:

Email	Company	Status

TRIPLE CONFIRMED madhavee.singh@cognizant.com (Attempt 1)
NOW INVALID bounce@invalid.com (Attempt 1)

==========================================================================
SMART TRIPLE CHECK COMPLETE
Total Checked : 173
TRIPLE CONFIRMED : 145
NOW INVALID : 18
NO CONNECTION (Retry) : 10
BLOCKED DOMAINS : 3

Console Output Example

• TRIPLE CONFIRMED: Email that passed all validation checks.
• NOW INVALID: Email that was determined to be invalid.
• NO CONNECTION (Retry): Emails that could not be validated on the first attempt but are queued for retry.
• BLOCKED DOMAINS: Domains that were blocked during the verification process.

Excel Output

The validated email results will be saved in a new Excel sheet with the following columns:

Email	Company	Triple_Status	Attempts
hr@example.com	Example Inc	TRIPLE CONFIRMED	1
