Email Validation
Validate email addresses before sending to protect your sender reputation.
Automatically validate recipient addresses before sending to protect your sender reputation.
What is Email Validation?
Email Validation checks every recipient before sending, analyzing addresses to determine delivery risk:
| Check | Description |
|---|---|
| Syntax Validation | Valid email format (user@domain.com) |
| DNS/MX Verification | Domain has valid mail exchange records |
| Mailbox Existence | Specific mailbox actually exists |
| Risk Assessment | Identifies disposable, role-based, risky addresses |
Confidence Levels
| Level | Meaning | Action |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | Very likely to deliver | Email sent |
| MEDIUM | Some risk factors | Email sent with caution |
| LOW | High bounce/complaint risk | Email suppressed |
How to Enable
- Go to Domains in the dashboard
- Click on a verified domain
- Find the Email Validation toggle in Outbound Configuration
- Toggle on to enable
Once enabled, every email sent from this domain will have recipients validated automatically.
Email Validation is available on Marketing Business plans and higher, or BYOK Pro plans and higher.
