Our Email Validation Service provides a comprehensive set of checks to verify email addresses. The validation process includes the following key steps:

• 1. **Syntax Checks:** We perform syntax checks to ensure that the email address is properly formatted according to RFC standards. This step verifies that the email address structure is correct, including the presence of "@" and a valid domain.
• 2. **Mx record checks:** We perform mx lookup for all "syntax valid" emails on each unique domain given in a list and verify that the mail server is alive. Just like mail server's, we check each mx record and it's record in the order based on it's priority.
• 3. **SMTP Verification:** We verify the existence of the email address by connecting to the recipient's mail server without sending an actual email. This process checks whether the email address is currently active and can receive emails.
• 4. **Catch-All Detection:** Our service can identify catch-all email addresses, which are email addresses associated with a domain that accepts all emails sent to it, regardless of the specific mailbox's existence. Catch-all addresses can pose unique challenges, and we help you distinguish them from valid emails.
• 4. **Handling Unknown Emails:** In cases where we couldn't definitively verify an email address due to temporary issues (e.g., the recipient's server is temporarily down, we couldn't establish a connection), we categorize the result as "unknown." This indicates that the email address may be valid, but further validation is required.
• 5. **No Cached Data:** Our validation process is unique in that we never rely on cached or outdated data. We always provide live, real-time results, ensuring the accuracy of our validation checks. This means that verifying the same list twice in once day or even in the same hour can produce different results.
