How the fake email checker works
ZeroBounce can detect fake emails through its in-depth email list validation process. Here’s how we verify email authenticity:
- Syntax checks — Does your email use the correct format or contain typos? If yes, the email address is fake.
- DNS record/SMTP checks — Even if the format is legit, you need to know if the mailbox is real. We validate email addresses with record checks to ensure that they’re real and configured correctly.
- Spam trap checks — Our fake email checker also checks for known spam signatures, allowing you to detect and avoid problematic emails.
- Verify+ from ZeroBounce — While we detect fake emails, we’ll also look for ‘disabled’ email accounts. These are common with Yahoo and AOL domains and will lead to a bounce, just like fake email addresses.
- Further investigation — If the fake email checker doesn’t detect any problems, we’ll pursue an additional investigation to check for suppression lists, catch-alls, disposable domains, and toxic domains. All of these will hurt your email marketing efforts.
