Email Validation

Every email is primarily categorized as either Valid, Invalid, Unknown or Catch-All:

  • Valid - After a successful SMTP transaction, if receiving mail server accepts the email address, it will be marked Valid Email Address. Sending emails to the addresses which are marked as "Disposable" is not recommended, even though the email address is valid.
  • Invalid - An email address will be marked Invalid if it is syntactically incorrect or an email account does not exist on receiving mail server.
  • Unknown - Sometimes receiving mail server responds very slowly or may temporarily be unable to process requests.
  • Catch-All - A catch-all email address is an account that receives emails sent to any incorrect email addresses of the domain. When configured, emails sent to any email address associated with the domain should not bounce, but in some cases, it may reject later.

Depends on the freshness of the validated result, we can guarantee that more than 99% of "deliverable" email addresses won't bounce.

The "Unknown" status means both the possibilities exist: the email may be valid or invalid. This happens when the receiving server is not responding well. We recommend you to retry such emails after some time.

Sometimes receiving mail servers are configured such that it accepts all emails sent to any incorrect email addresses of the domain. This can be usually seen in business email addresses. When configured, emails sent to any email address associated with the domain should not bounce, but in some cases, it may reject later. That is why the safe to send flag is marked as risky. We do not recommend to send emails to “Catch-All" addresses or send it slowly with caution. Deliverability for such addresses is not guaranteed.

There are certain service providers that generate temporary email addresses for a short period of time, like a few hours to a few days. Such addresses are known as "Disposable Email Addresses". Generally, disposable emails are created to receive initial account activation or confirmation emails for sites like discussion forums, e-shopping etc. and dispose off automatically after a given time period. Sending emails to such addresses increases the bounce rate so it is not advisable to send emails to "Disposable Email Addresses".

Role-based email addresses are such emails that do not belong to individuals, but to a department, designation or company. The owner of Role-based addresses often changes. Further, the email may be forwarded to multiple recipients. Sending newsletters or campaign emails to such addresses may have a negative impact on your open rates or may lead to spam complaints. Hence, it is not recommended to send any promotional or marketing emails to Role addresses. Most email marketing services reject such role addresses.

Clearout detects if the email address is registered with one of the popular free email services, e.g. Google, AOL, Hotmail, Yahoo etc. This is important, because such addresses are typically personal email addresses, instead of work email addresses. Such addresses are safe to send emails to, but in many cases, engagement opportunities are higher with work email addresses than with personal email addresses.

Every incorrectly typed email address is a missed opportunity for marketers to connect with their customers and prospects. Clearout has an in-built autosuggestion feature which checks in real-time, if there is a typo. The autosuggestion will provide an alternative spelling which is more likely to be the correct email address. For example, if a user types the email address as "[email protected]", the corrected spelling "[email protected]" will be suggested.

All processing is done on Clearout servers, the user IP addresses and domains are not affected in any way by the Clearout service - absolutely no blacklisting risk for the IPs and domains.

No, it doesn't. Clearout employs DNS and SMTP protocol functionalities to perform email address validations and absolutely avoids sending any email message to external mail exchangers for delivery.

Our email verification tool allows a maximum of 3 requests per user at a time in queue, whether it is in queued state or running.

Depends on the freshness of the result. It is highly advisable to verify before triggering any mass email blast to minimize bounces, improve conversion rates and stay on the good side of ISPs and regulators.

Clearout email verification is 99% accurate, providing the best in breed standard for measuring verifications and endorsed by thousands of satisfied customers.

Yes, currently we are at 96% Accuracy compare to other domains.

Our algorithms have been specially designed to deliver the maximum possible accuracy by doing; Domain Validation, Syntax Verification, Spam-Trap Removal, and Duplication Removal to clean up and verify the email lists. Clearout checks MX records validity as well as carry out bounce processing.

Yes, you can upload a list of email addresses. Clearout can handle one million emails per list.

Yes, absolutely!!! A lot of our users use our real-time API to verify the email address at the time of capture itself. Learn more about it.

  • The real-time verification takes less than a second for almost all major free email service providers such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, aol.com which cover the maximum share of email population.
  • Clearout has optimised the turnaround time even for the business email addresses created out of G-Suite, Microsoft Exchange Servers and Yahoo businesses too.

The email addresses can be validated in the following ways:

  • Instant Validation: where you will get instant results within seconds.
  • Bulk Validation: where you can upload email list files up to 2GB which can have a maximum of 1 million emails per file.
  • Real-time Validation: where you can integrate Clearout API in any software to verify millions+ of email addresses in real-time.

    • Uploading as a CSV, and XLSX file are supported for bulk verification.

    It depends on the size of your file and the type of data in your file. Generally, it takes about 3 to 4 hours to finish the validation of 1 million email addresses.

    Yes. A gibberish check is conducted to ensure that random email addresses are identified and shown separately. For example, [email protected] doesn't qualify to pass the test.

    Because there is no standard method for determining gibberish, especially in the case of email addresses, many detection algorithms produce more false positives or false negatives, making it difficult to identify the genuine email address. Furthermore, despite the fact that the IETF makes no mention of it, it was difficult to avoid including strict mode gibberish detection in Clearout because all major email service providers accept nonsense as an email local component.

    Yes, here is how you can do it.

    The user can add the email address or a domain or multiple email addresses or domains from allowing or blocking to sign-up through their contact forms.The email address/domain can be added from "settings" from your account. The expiry date for the same can be selected by the user. On expiry, the email address or domain will be added to the normal validation process. Here are the steps.

    The user can check results in the “Activities” section. In case of blocklisted, the status will be "Invalid" and the safe-to-send will be "unknown," with the explanation "Email Address or Domain is Blocklisted" listed below. Whereas, if the domain is allowlisted, the status will be "Valid" and safe-to-send will be "unknown," with the rationale "Email Address or Domain is allowlisted" listed underneath.

    Below are the reasons why Clearout can't be 100% accurate with the claimed result:

    • Certain mail servers take a long time to propagate the email address state change. Performing validation against the mail server during this propagation period will lead to the wrong result.
    • Certain mail servers are protected behind the anti-spam firewall system, where the real status of the email address will be known only by sending an email to the address.
    • In case if the email address has forward rules configured, then the actual status of the email address won't be known, as it serves as a proxy.
    • Mail server configured for internal use and not following the standard mail protocols cannot be determined.
    • In case of certain Office 365 domains, the bounces cannot be identified without sending actual emails as the mail server responds that the account exists, but when trying to contact it bounces.

    Your credits carry over and do not expire, maintaining lifetime validity—unless they were part of a custom deal.

    Yearly subscriptions are billed once per year on the same date annually, based on the initial payment date.

    To cancel your current subscription, go to the "Plans" section in your account settings and select the "Cancel" option. This will terminate your subscription, and you’ll continue to have access until the end of your current billing cycle.

    Your data will remain accessible in your account until the data retention period expires. However, once the subscription is canceled, your account limits will revert to the freemium tier.

    If you're not satisfied with the service, you may request a refund within 30 days. However, subscriptions are non-refundable, as 100 free credits are provided to evaluate the service before purchasing. Additionally, credits do not expire, ensuring continued value from your purchase.

    Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time. Just be aware that the new plan's limits will be applied immediately.

    When upgrading your monthly plan, we do not provide prorated billing. However, you will retain all unused credits, which will carry over to the new billing period.

    To buy pay-as-you-go credits, simply go to the "One-Time" tab in your account, select the desired quantity (higher volumes offer discounted rates), and proceed to checkout. Your purchased credits will be instantly added to your account for immediate use.
