How the email verifier works

No AI, just DNS and pattern checks. For any address it reports:

  • Format — is it a structurally valid address.
  • Mail server (MX) — does the domain actually accept mail.
  • Free vs business — gmail.com/outlook.com vs a company domain.
  • Disposable — a throwaway domain that will bounce or churn.
  • Role-based — info@, sales@, support@ that reach a shared inbox.

Why this matters for bounce rate

Bounce rate is the fastest way to wreck a sending domain. Removing invalid, no-MX and disposable addresses before you send is the single biggest lever on it. Keep your bounce rate under about 3%; above that, mailbox providers start throttling and your good emails land in spam too.

How to read the result

A valid-format, business, MX-present, non-disposable, non-role address is a clean send. Role-based addresses are worth keeping but deprioritising, they reply less. Anything with no MX or a disposable domain should come straight off the list.

Frequently asked questions

What does the email verifier check?+

Format validity, whether the domain has a mail server (MX record), free vs business domain, disposable addresses, and role-based addresses such as info@ or sales@.

Does verifying emails reduce bounces?+

Yes. Removing invalid, disposable and no-MX addresses is the single biggest lever on bounce rate. Keeping bounces under about 3% protects your sending reputation.

Is a role-based address bad?+

Addresses like info@ or sales@ reach a shared inbox and tend to reply less, so deprioritise them rather than leading with them.

Does it use AI or cost anything?+

No AI, and it is free. It performs DNS/MX lookups and pattern checks, one verification per email.
