You can clean up your Mailchimp list by running those email addresses through an email validation tool. Email validation runs each email address through a series of syntax, SMTP, and DNS checks to determine if an email address is both valid and configured to receive email messages. After the validation process is complete, each contact will be tagged with a corresponding status. To keep your list clean, filter out any email address that isn’t valid.
In many cases, Mailchimp will automatically remove email addresses from your audience that lead to hard bounces. However, a hard bounce will contribute to your overall bounce rate, which lowers your email deliverability. It’s strongly advised to try to avoid hard bounces by validating your email list before sending an email campaign with Mailchimp.
Invalid email addresses lead to hard bounces. An invalid email address is one that no longer exists, has an invalid domain, or has other configuration/authentication issues. If you try emailing an invalid email address, it causes a hard bounce. It’s recommended to use email validation for your Mailchimp audience to find invalid email addresses so that you can remove them.
Mailchimp provides email verification by partnering with services like ZeroBounce. You’ll need to create a free ZeroBounce account so that you can connect with Mailchimp and import your email list for email verification. The integration is free and requires no downloads and minimal setup.
