we check the format, the domain's mail servers, and whether it's a disposable, role or mistyped address — without ever emailing it.
Yes. No sign-up, no card. You can run 20 checks a day, up to 10 addresses at a time. It runs on our own server and never stores the addresses you check.
Four things: that the address is written correctly, that its domain has mail servers (MX records) and can receive email at all, whether it's a disposable or temporary inbox, and whether it's a role address like info@ or sales@. It also flags likely typos such as gmial.com and tells you when an address is on a free provider like Gmail.
No. Confirming a specific inbox means talking to the recipient's mail server, which the free tool deliberately doesn't do. An address can pass every check here and still bounce if that one inbox was deleted. For that, use a deliverability check.
It usually isn't a person. Shared inboxes get filtered, forwarded or ignored, and some are closed to outside mail. They're fine for general contact, but on a cold-outreach list they lower reply rates and can raise complaint rates.
