- G (GREEN) - VALID EMAILS
- LG (LIGHT GREEN) - VALID DOMAINs
- R (RED) - INVALID EMAILS
- B (BLACK) - FAILED EMAIL VALIDATIONS
- B(BLUE) – EMAIL PROCESSING
Email Validation Checks
InsideView performs the following email validation checks to measure the authenticity of an email address:
- Email Address syntax check : InsideView removes improperly formatted email addresses as per Internet Engineering Task Force (IEFT) standards.
- Domain/MX record check : InsideView checks whether the email address entered is valid or fake. If a domain is found to be invalid or an MX record entry is missing, InsideView marks the corresponding email address as invalid.
- Role-based account detection: this check sends email to role-based accounts such as postmaster@, info@, sales@, admin@, and so on. In this ways, InsideView detects and flags such email addresses as invalid if needed.
- Disposable Email Address (DEA) detection: In this check, InsideView detects throwaway/disposal or junk collector email addresses that needs to be processed. These email addresses are used in SignUp forms or to bypass Login forms which require a valid email address.
- Honeypot/ Spam trap detection: detects spam seeds, BOTs, honeypots, blacklist, or bogus email addresses by validating email addresses against the known list of email addresses/domains.
- Domain Name System Blacklists (DNSBLs) and URI DNSBLs check: InsideView will block messages from specific systems that have a history of sending spam and include those email address for blacklisting. A real-time black hole list (RBL) identifies list of IP addresses often used for spamming. A URI DNSBL lists domain names which are found in the body of spam email messages.
- Final verification check: InsideView performs deep-level extended SMTP verification on each address. In this check, the email addresses are pinged to verify the existence of email domain without sending an actual email to the inbox.
