    Hi,

    I am building a service that verify a person's identity by his company email address, just like what facebook does. I'd like to scrap all the email address domain of companies. Is there a major source of info for me to do so?

    Thanks,
    yamyam

    There might be a major source but I dont think you will find that it is a avalible to the public, I think facebook probably built its database manually....but I dont think anyone knows...
