Verification checks

7 layers of email validation

Syntax check

Validates email format to prevent hard bounces and invalid addresses.

MX / domain check

Confirms the domain has valid MX records so it can receive email.

Role-based & free-mail detection

Flags role accounts (support@, info@) and free providers for deliverability scoring.

Disposable email screening

Detects temporary domains that are not suitable for long-term contact lists.

Blacklist check

Checks domain and IPs against reputation lists to flag known bad senders.

Mailbox check

Confirms a real mailbox exists at the address, not just the domain.

Catch-all verification

Verifies catch-all addresses and emails protected by Secure Email Gateways with clear valid or invalid verdicts.

Standard Verification Outcomes

4 possible results

Deliverable

Email is valid, reachable, and passed checks. Safe to keep in your contact database.

Risky

May accept mail but has higher risk: catch-all domain, full mailbox, or lower deliverability.

Undeliverable

Not deliverable due to invalid format, domain, rejected mailbox, disposable email, or blacklisted.

Unknown
Credits Refunded

Could not be verified reliably: timeout, server unavailable, or connection issues.

You only pay for emails we can actually verify. Unknown results are refunded automatically.

Catch-all Verification Enabled

Just valid or invalid

Valid

Confirmed deliverable, including catch-all and SEG-protected addresses verified for real existence.

Invalid

Mailbox does not exist or cannot be reached. Safe to remove from your list.

Unknown
Refunded

Could not be verified reliably. The credit is refunded automatically.

Beyond Standard Checks

Don't let catch-all domainsleave you guessing

Most email tools mark catch-all and accept-all domains as Unknown and stop there. TargetPulse goes deeper, confirming the true existence of each mailbox, including addresses protected by Secure Email Gateways.

Every catch-all email gets a clear verdict: Valid or Invalid. No more guesswork.

True Mailbox Existence
We confirm the actual mailbox exists, not just whether the domain accepts everything blindly.
Domain Trust Signals
Reviews SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SSL and domain reputation to score how trustworthy the domain itself is.
SEG and Gateway Handling
Verifies addresses protected by Secure Email Gateways such as Mimecast, Proofpoint, and Barracuda.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Yes. You get 1,000 free verification credits to start — no credit card required. After that, pay only for what you use with our pay-as-you-go pricing. No monthly fees; buy credits when you need them and use them at your own pace.

Upload your CSV or Excel file to TargetPulse Email Verifier. Our tool runs real-time verification: you see results as each email is checked and can download verified results at any time, even while the rest of your list is still processing.

We aim for high accuracy through multiple checks: syntax, MX/domain, role-based and free-mail detection, disposable screening, blacklist checks, SMTP mailbox verification, and catch-all detection. This helps you maintain strong deliverability and a healthy sender reputation.

One credit equals one email. So 1,000 credits verify 1,000 email addresses. We use a simple, transparent model: no hidden usage, and your credits do not expire.

We recommend verifying before every major send and every 3–6 months to keep your list clean. Because we give you real-time results, you can fix lists quickly and remove invalid or risky addresses before they hurt deliverability.

We return four outcomes: Deliverable (valid and safe to use), Risky (e.g. catch-all or full mailbox), Undeliverable (invalid format, bad domain, or rejected), and Unknown (timeout or server issues). Each result helps you decide which contacts to keep, pause, or remove.

Yes — and we go far deeper than most tools that just mark catch-alls as “Unknown.” Our AI-powered detection scores every catch-all address across three signals: Domain Intelligence (SPF/DKIM/DMARC, SSL, domain reputation), AI Pattern Analysis (name structure, character patterns, human-likeness), and Mailbox Behavior (deep SMTP probing). You get a clear confidence rating — High (90%+ likely deliverable), Medium, Low, or Very Low — so you know exactly which catch-all addresses are safe to keep.
