Verification Method
Every email we return goes through a multi-step verification process. This is how we achieve 94%+ accuracy while keeping costs dramatically lower than competitors.
Pattern Recognition
Our AI analyzes company email patterns from multiple public sources to predict email formats with 95%+ accuracy.
SMTP Validation
Every predicted email is verified against the mail server using SMTP handshake without sending actual emails.
Deliverability Check
We check for catch-all domains, spam traps, and disposable email patterns to ensure real deliverability.
Fallback Providers
Only when our direct methods can't verify, we use premium providers - passing the cost savings to you.
How SMTP Validation Works
1. DNS Lookup: We query the MX records for the domain to find the mail server.
2. Connection: We establish an SMTP connection to the mail server.
3. RCPT TO Check: We send a recipient check command without actually sending an email.
4. Response Analysis: Based on the server response, we determine if the mailbox exists.
5. Catch-all Detection: We test for catch-all domains that accept all addresses.
