An email verifier checks whether an email address can receive mail without sending a message. Proofy validates the address format, confirms the domain and MX records, and checks the receiving mail server to classify the address as valid, invalid, risky, disposable, catch-all, or role-based.
Email verification helps remove bad addresses before campaigns, database imports, and CRM updates, reducing hard bounces and keeping poor-quality contacts out of your sending lists.
Proofy combines syntax, domain, MX, SMTP, disposable, catch-all, role-based, and risk checks in one verification process. For a deeper technical breakdown, see how email verification works.
An email verifier checks whether an address appears able to receive mail without sending a message. Proofy evaluates syntax, domain, MX, and mailbox-level signals, then returns a status such as Valid, Invalid, Risky, or Unknown. Verification helps reduce bad addresses before sending, but it does not guarantee delivery.
Email validation is often used for format and basic domain checks, while email verification goes further by evaluating MX and mailbox-level signals. Proofy combines these checks in one process and returns a result based on the verification signals available.
Proofy returns primary statuses such as Valid, Invalid, Risky, and Unknown. Additional signals can identify disposable, catch-all, and role-based addresses, helping you decide which contacts to send, suppress, or review.
Proofy combines syntax, domain, MX, SMTP, disposable, catch-all, role-based, and risk checks to classify email addresses using multiple verification signals. Catch-all domains are flagged separately because their mail servers may accept messages without confirming whether a specific mailbox exists.
No. The verification process checks without sending any message. It simulates the beginning of an SMTP delivery and terminates before any message is sent. The address owner is never notified and no email appears in their inbox.
