Please recommend services that could potentially (bonus if open source and free) retrieve active emails from only a domain name without scraping apart from the typical [email protected]?

Also are there any open source scrapers that could parse a website for any emails it can find?
 
You can use the GetProspect Chrome extension to find email from a domain. To extract the business email addresses of employees from any website, install the extension and enable it on the required website. It will show the email addresses found on it.
 
Is it scraping the domains or getting from some database or doing some other magic?
 
Some quick thoughts on this...

Do not make stupid decisions. Use common sense. Know the boundaries. Be safe. You are responsible for *your* actions.

1) Familiarize yourself with black hat data dumps, specifically in the dark web. The idea here is for you to search as many stolen data dumps as you can, looking for your target domain(s). For example:
1.a) If you are targeting domain.tld and want to find actual email addresses used with this domain, for example [email protected] and [email protected] then be on the lookout for data dumps.
1.b) If a data dump takes place, perhaps from a major streaming service, then you would locate that data dump and search it to see if there are any hits for "@domain.tld".

2) https://www.kali.org/tools/emailharvester/ :: https://github.com/laramies/theHarvester :: https://github.com/nettitude/Prowl :: https://github.com/righteousgambit/quiet-riot :: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/smtp-enumeration/

BTW, you may want to learn more about "email enumeration" or just "enumeration" in general.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
 
You could create a list with generated email names that you can use a email verification software like atomic mail verifier

The emails can be random and the program will verify if they exist
 
i prefer to extract manually since scraping might cause a issue while run script and also it has majority non useful data

I forgot to mention, for Windows 11 users, you may need to enable Telnet. There are plenty of instructions to do so, but this was one of the first I found from a quick search: https://www.laptopmag.com/how-to/enable-and-use-telnet-on-windows-11

The gist is:
  • Windows button + R
  • Type: control
    • Press Enter
  • Click: Programs
  • Click: Turn Windows features on or off
  • Click/Check: Telnet Client
    • Click: OK
  • Reboot
  • Login to Windows
  • Windows button + R
  • Type: cmd
    • Press Enter
  • Type: telnet
    • Press Enter
  • Type: ?
    • Press Enter
  • Continue with other HowTo... https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/smtp-enumeration/
I would have to search for how to use telnet on a Mac, but it should be fairly easy considering it being BSD based.

Linux users should be able to just fire away from a terminal/shell.
 
You can find email addresses for a domain name through contact forms, WHOIS lookups, social media, professional networks, and email lookup tools.

Email Extractor Pro (when it works) will get you all emails on the domain. Key - when it works (which is one out of every 50 times.)
