Clearout Verification Status Every email is primarily categorized as either Valid, Invalid, Unknown or Catch-All.
Valid: The email address will be declared Valid Email Address after a successful SMTP transaction if the recipient mail server accepts it. Even if the email address is real, sending emails to addresses tagged as "Disposable" is not advised.
Invalid: An email address is marked Invalid if it's syntactically wrong, or if an email account doesn't exist on the receiving mail server.
Unknown: The receiving mail server may reply slowly or be momentarily unable to handle queries at times. Those email addresses have a "unknown" status, which can be revalidated after some time.
Catch-All: An email address that accepts all messages sent to that address and never bounces them back.
Clearout Safe to send: Clearout identifies high-quality email addresses using an advanced level screening mechanism, resulting in greater deliverability and open rates for your emails. We highly advise sending emails in bulk within a 24-hour time frame using email addresses with a deliverability score of 1.
Clearout Disposable: Certain service providers generate temporary email addresses for a limited duration, such as a few hours to a few days. "Disposable Email Addresses" are the term for such addresses. Sending emails to such addresses increases the bounce rate, hence sending emails to "Disposable Email Addresses" is not recommended.
