What is MailScrap?
MailScrap provides a comprehensive email verification service that directly connects to mail servers to validate email addresses. The tool checks mailbox existence and deliverability without sending actual emails, using SMTP connections to simulate message sending. It performs multiple validation threads including email format verification, domain information analysis, server status checks, and email type identification to ensure accuracy.
The service helps businesses and individuals prevent bounced emails by removing invalid addresses from mailing lists before campaigns. It identifies disposable email addresses using sophisticated machine learning algorithms rather than static lists, offering robust protection against low-quality users. The platform serves email list brokers, marketers, data centers, call centers, and lead generation groups by improving email deliverability and reducing bounce rates during marketing campaigns.

FAQs
-
How accurate is the email verification process?
The verification process guarantees that more than 95% of email addresses marked as valid won't bounce, though verifications are never 100% certain. -
Does the tool send actual emails during verification?
No, the email checker performs validation without sending emails by directly connecting to the SMTP server and simulating message sending. -
What happens when an email address is marked as catch-all?
Some email servers accept all addresses on the same domain whether they exist or not, so the tool can only return a catch-all status without confirming actual existence. -
What types of checks are performed during email verification?
The tool checks email format, disposable email addresses, webmail usage, MX record presence, SMTP server connectivity, and catch-all domain policies.
