Real-Time SMTP Verification

Live RCPT TO probe against the destination MX to confirm mailbox existence in real time.

Disposable Detection

Match against 50,000+ known disposable / burner email providers.

Role-Account Detection

Flag departmental aliases such as info@, sales@, support@, marketing@.

Catch-All Detection

Identify domains whose MX accepts all addresses regardless of mailbox existence.

Greylisting Handling

Distinguish temporary SMTP defenses from outright rejections so they can be retried.

Typo Suggestion

Detect domain misspellings (gmial.com -> gmail.com) and return a corrected address.

Spam-Trap and Complainer Detection

Identify honeypots and chronic spam-complainer addresses before they damage sender reputation.

B2B / B2C Classification

Classify addresses as corporate (B2B) versus consumer (B2C) free-mailbox providers.
