Yes | Sending emails to these email addresses is completely 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 but the email addresses of this result file are safe to use when the bounce rate is strictly below 5% or using own email sending platform without depending on external Email Service Provider (ESP). The risk factor depends upon multiple reasons like -High volume of role-based email addresses -Any temporary mail account issue -Mail server configured to accept all email messages |
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 | Certain servers accept all the emails for that domain and never bounces it back to the sender, those email addresses are flagged as catchall emails. |
Unknown | Clearout will return an unknown result when it was unable to 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 certain cases, retrying your request after some time will return a valid or invalid response. |

Disposable Email Address | Clearout checks if the email address belongs to a temporary account created for a short period of time, 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 that are using free services such as Gmail and Yahoo! Mail. In many cases, it is perfectly acceptable to send email to a user of a free email service. However, in certain contexts, businesses can receive better open/response rates when only sending to non-free email addresses. | |||||||||||||||
Role Based Email Address | Clearout identifies the email addresses that are 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 | |||||||||||||||
Greylist Count | Clearout provides the greylist count for every address after the successful email verification to check whether the email address is a honeypot or not. Sending emails to addresses with a higher greylist count will increase the bounce rate so it is highly recommended not to send emails to "Greylisted Email Addresses". | |||||||||||||||
Auto suggestion | Clearout provides autosuggestion feature which checks in real-time if there is a typo. The autosuggestion will pose an alternative email address when Clearout notices a potentially mistyped address.
