How Our Email Validation Process Works:

Here’s how we correct complex errors and protect your file from toxic addresses.

Step 1: CHECK

Email Validation Check

To make sure it’s deliverable, we:

  • Determine whether the address syntax conforms to RFC (822, 2822, 5322, 3696, 5233, 6530) and FreshAddress standards.
  • Check each email address in real time to confirm that the upper and lower domains and associated MX (mail exchanger) records are valid and can accept mail.
  • Ensure address meets ISP-specific requirements.
  • Verify the email address is linked to an actual working mailbox. (Our proprietary algorithm for this process includes a vast database of recent email deliverability findings and a real-time SMTP check.)

Step 2: CORRECT

Email Validation Correction

To maximize the number of safe, deliverable addresses on your list:

  • Our patented spell-check technology corrects as many as seven errors in a single address and fixes any typos, including:
    • Misplaced or transposed @ signs and invalid characters such as spaces or quotes.
    • Typos in both TLD’s (.com, .net, .edu, etc.) and LLD’s (gmail, aol, Hotmail, etc.)
    • ANY misspelled domain, not just the most popular ones.
  • Our proprietary algorithm will also suggest alternative domains for uncommon entries (such as @gmail.com instead of @google.com).
  • Every corrected email addresses included in your file is 100% guaranteed to be valid and deliverable.

Step 3: PROTECT

Email Validation Protection

We check each email address against our vast knowledgebase to identify and flag for removal any damaging (but deliverable) email addresses, including:

  • Toxic: Spamtraps and honeypots.
  • Undesirable: Frequent complainers, role accounts, disposable domains, fictitious and malicious email addresses, client-specific suppressions.
  • Not best-practice: DMA “Do Not Email List” and FCC wireless domains.

B2BB2B

B2B Email Validation & Verification

Are you a B2B marketer that relies on email to open doors and drive revenue?

If so, your success hinges on your ability to ensure that every email address in your database is safe, deliverable, and belongs to a real person. Poor data quality will result in bouncing emails, spamtraps, and other bad addresses, which can derail your entire email marketing program.

Are you a B2B data provider that sells email data to your customers?

If so, then your product is only as good as the data that you’re providing. Poor data quality will result in your customers paying you for bouncing emails, spam traps, and invalid records – all of which will derail their marketing programs. Probably NOT what they were looking for when they decided to give you their business.

SafeToSend is the only solution than can neutralize these threats and validate email addresses at catch-all and other non-pingable domains, which can comprise 50% or more of a typical B2B database. It’s the key to improving your business and differentiating it from your competition.

The Problem

Many businesses use catch-all email servers that accept mail sent to any address at their domain, even if the person and mailbox don’t exist. Catch-all domains always return a valid response when you perform an SMTP check.

Without SafeToSend, it’s impossible to know whether the email address you’re sending to belongs to your intended target or could possibly be a spam trap.

The Solution

FreshAddress has developed technology that enables us to validate good and bad email addresses at B2B domains hosted by Office 365 and GSuite.

This allows us to pierce through the catch-all domains at these providers. As a result, we can determine if an address is deliverable and belongs to a real person, versus being a possible trap. No other vendor can provide this level of sophistication.
