Find out what kind of email address it is
-
Disposable address
A disposable email address (DEA) is a short-lived email address that is used to receive one or two emails in a short duration. After that, the email address is never used again. Emails reaching the DEA mostly auto-delete after a short time. somename[at]mailinator[dot]com is an example of DEA. -
Accept-all address
Some organizations configure their email servers to accept all emails addressed to their domain even if the mailbox doesn’t exist. Therefore, such mailboxes could be full of spam mails. The result is extremely poor engagement. Expert marketers advise caution when sending mails to such addresses. -
Role address
A role address is associated with a post or a role in the organization, rather than with an individual. Emails received by a role address are mostly shared among a group of people. Therefore, emails reaching this address have a high risk of being labelled spam by someone in the group. Example: sales[at]company[dot]com -
Fake address
A fake or invalid email address is one that is incorrect and hence undeliverable. Such addresses enter your mailing list when someone types in an incorrect address either knowingly or due to a typo. Or the old address is no longer active and has expired. Emails sent to such addresses always result in hard bounce, hurting your sender reputation.

Understand what email verification means
Not all emails have the same potential
That’s because email addresses are of different types and the engagement for each of these types can be widely different.
For example, you’ll see some addresses like admin@, sales@, hr@ and so on in your mailing list. As you probably know, they are called role addresses. Such role addresses are typically shared by a group of people or even the entire department.
Unfortunately, when you send an email to a role address, some of the recipients may find your email irrelevant and mark your mail Spam.
Or take the case of Disposable Email Addresses (DEAs). People use such email addresses only once or twice and then never again. Any emails you send to such addresses are never opened – and your money goes down the drain.
That’s why it’s important you verify email list and remove unsafe, undeliverable, or otherwise invalid addresses from your mailing list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Please read our Documentation if you have questions that are not listed below.
-
What do you mean by a valid email address?
A good quality email address is one that is currently active, can receive incoming emails, is used only by one individual and is not a temporary or disposable email domain. Further, for your purpose, we think a catch-all address or a role address is not a valid email address. If you’re purely a B2B organization, you’ll find a business email like david@yourbusiness much better than a free email like david@gmail.
