Email verification

Email verification checks that an address can receive mail before you send to it, so fewer emails bounce.

Email verification

Email verification is checking that an address can receive mail before you write to it. A good check looks at the address format, whether the domain has mail servers (MX records), whether it is a disposable, role or free-mail address, whether the domain accepts every address (catch-all), and finally asks the mail server whether this one mailbox exists. Sending only to verified addresses keeps your bounce rate low, which mailbox providers watch closely.

In Scrisly, every address is verified with these checks before a draft is written, and scored valid, risky or invalid. Only valid addresses are approved on their own.
