Status | It involves three categories,the verified, non-verified lists and in-progress |
Created on | This filter can be used to segregate the lists based on the date of uploading. It can be day-wise, month-wise, and even yearly. |
Source | It involves the source from which the list has been uploaded, From your data, ESP, or the lead finder. |
Guaranteed Deliverables | The result will only include the email addresses guaranteed to be delivered to the recipient's mailbox, i.e., no bounce back. Sending emails to these email addresses is entirely safe as long as the email is sent anytime before 24 hours from the verified time. The downloaded result will also contain Clearout standard columns appended to the original columns. |
Deliverables With Risk | The result will include Guaranteed Deliverables (mentioned above) and the email addresses that are determined risky. The risk factor depends upon multiple reasons like Low deliverability, high volume of role-based email addresses, temporary mail account issue, mail server configured to accept all email messages, etc. Duplicates, if any, will be included in the report but will not be additionally billed. |
Non - Deliverables | The result will include the email addresses that will bounce, so it is highly recommended not to send any emails to such addresses and unsubscribe them from the mailing list. Duplicates, if any, will be included in the report but will not be additionally billed. |
Email addresses with Clearout standard columns | The result will include all verified status email addresses – Valid, Invalid, Catch All, Unknown appended to other Clearout columns. Duplicates, if any, will not be included in the result file. The columns of the original file will not be included in the results. |
Custom | The result will include your original list together with the columns you choose further- Valid, Invalid, Catch All, and Unknown. Select columns that you want to have in your list by clicking on the required checkbox. Duplicates, if any, can be excluded/included in the result on choice. |
Managing Campaign Costs | Eliminate incorrect, wrong, and unreachable contacts. Be assured you are spending resources to target the best audience of your campaign that ultimately benefits your campaign costs and gains a high return on investment. |
Higher Open Rates | With a strong sender reputation and high deliverability, you earn high open rates and better response rates. |
Protect Sender Reputation | Preventing nasty emails from entering into your database in the first place will reduce future hard bounces and gain you the best deliverability. |
Better Business Performance | High open rates and better response rates from your contacts and prospects create better business opportunities and help you achieve your business goals. |
Registration forms | Often users make mistakes when they enter email addresses for registrations. Verifying such emails in real-time using Clearout API allows your users to fix their errors and enter a correct email. Also, you can reject a registration for invalid or disposable email addresses. |
Subscription forms | If you have a form on your blogs or sites where users can subscribe for your newsletters, event notifications, or product launch emails, integrate Clearout API to accept only valid emails. |
Yes | Sending emails to these email addresses is entirely safe as long as the email is sent anytime before 24 hours from the verified time. |
Risky | As the name suggests, a little risk is involved in sending emails to these email addresses. Still, the email addresses of this result file are safe to use when the bounce rate is strictly below 5% or using your email sending platform without depending on an external Email Service Provider (ESP). |
No | Invalid email addresses that you should avoid sending emails to. |
Unknown | Due to unavoidable reasons, the status of the email cannot be determined currently |
Valid | A valid email address has been verified as a real email that is currently accepting the emails. |
Invalid | An invalid email address has been verified as a bad recipient address that does not exist or is not accepting the emails. Invalid emails will result in a bounce. |
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. That is why the safe to send flag is marked as risky. |
Unknown | Clearout will return the 'Unknown' result when it could not get a response from the recipient's mail server. This often happens if the destination mail server is too slow or temporarily unavailable due to an issue with their internal network or expired domain names. In some instances, retrying your request after some time will return a valid or invalid response. |

Score | Clearout's "score" field has been deprecated. Instead, you can utilize the "safe to send" field in Clearout as a suitable replacement. Below, you'll find the corresponding mapping for your reference. |
Clearout Score | Status | Clearout Safe To Send |
---|---|---|
1 | Highly deliverable mail address | Yes |
0.25 - 0.75 | Low-risk to High-risk email address | Risky |
0 | Invalid | No |
Disposable Email Address | Clearout checks if the email address belongs to a temporary account created for a short period, like a few hours to a few days. Generally, disposable emails are created to receive initial account activation or confirmation emails for sites like discussion forums, e-shopping, etc. Sending emails to such addresses increases the bounce rate. So it is highly recommended not to send emails to "Disposable Email Addresses." |
Free Email Address | Clearout identifies the email addresses using free services such as Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. In many cases, it is perfectly acceptable to send an email to a user of a free email service. However, businesses can receive better open/response rates in specific contexts when only sending to non-free email addresses. |
Role-Based Email Address | Clearout identifies the email addresses typically associated with a role (postmaster, support, sales, etc.) instead of a person. In some instances, mailing to a role address can lead to a decreased open rate and is generally advised against while sending an email. |
Autosuggestion | Clearout provides an autosuggestion feature that checks in real-time if there is a typo. The autosuggestion will pose an alternative email address when Clearout notices a potentially mistyped address. For instance, if a user types the email address as "[email protected]," Clearout will suggest the corrected spelling [email protected]. The suggested email addresses are not pre-verified. We advice to verify them separately. |
MX Record | Clearout real-time verification resolves and determines the existence of an email address by using the best MX record for the given email domain. This information will be captured and returned as part of the bulk verification result file or the API response object |
SMTP Provider | Clearout finds the STMP provider of the mail exchange for the given email domain. This helps in determining how to use the recipient's email address for email campaigns |
Verification Timestamp | Clearout provides the verified time for every email address to ensure the freshness of your list. |
