Email Verifier

Verify any email address before you send

Check whether an address is valid and deliverable, and clean whole lists to reduce bounces and protect your sender reputation.

Illustrative example with sample data

Layered checks

Built with extensive layers of verification

Each address is checked for availability and genuineness, step by step.

  1. Step 1

    Database cross-check

    We cross-check the address against our database of unique corporate email addresses.

  2. Step 2

    Syntax

    If it is not there, we check that the address is correctly formed.

  3. Step 3

    MX records

    Next we confirm the domain's MX records point to a mail server.

  4. Step 4

    Mail server

    Finally we ping the mail server to confirm the address can receive email.

What we check

How we verify emails

  • Domain & SMTP validation

    We check with ISPs and remove addresses with invalid, inactive or parked domains, or invalid accounts.

  • Spam trap checker

    Spam traps identify spammers, and you don't want to be one. We clean them out to improve your reputation score.

  • Disposable email cleaner

    We identify short-lived, temporary addresses so your future emails reach their target.

  • Syntax validator

    Removes addresses with invalid syntax. Use the API to notify your website users in real time.

  • Hard bounce checker

    Undetectable verifications find out whether an address really exists and can receive messages.

  • MTA validator

    Is there a mail server responsible for accepting messages? We run checks to validate MX records.

  • Accept-all checker

    Flags catch-all domains, which report every address as valid, so you can keep a high-quality list.

  • Role email detection

    Detects role-based addresses that are not for personal use and can hurt inbox deliverability.

  • Duplicate remover

    Detects and removes duplicate emails so you don't spend credits on them before your next campaign.
