Full Result Explanation

When you verify addresses via the API, the full result includes the following details for each address:

Email: Input email

Score: A “score” we assigned to an email after the verification, 0-100

For more information, please see Scoring, later in this article.

Result: "pending" | "malformed" | "unknown" | "ghost" | "nonexistent" | "full" | "deliverable"

For an explanation of each result - also known as statuses - please see Verification Results/Statuses, later in this article.

Error: The error, if any

Role: We can detect “info”, “sales”, “support”, and other roles.

Alias: For email providers that support +alias, what the was, if any. For example, in the address john+example@gmail.com, “example” is an alias.

Canonical: If there was an alias, the main address without the alias. To continue the example above, the canonical address would be “john@gmail.com”.

isGhost: Ghost is an email address that does not have MX servers or DNS records at all.

isMX: Whether or not the domain has MX records.

isSubDomain: Whether or not the email address was created under a subdomain.

For example, someone@verified.email does not involve a subdomain. By contrast, someone@corp.verified.email uses the subdomain corp.verified.email, which is a subdomain of verified.email.

isCatchAll: Whether or not the domain “catches” mail to any email address (anything before @domain.com)

isFree: Whether or not this email address is registered on a free email service like gmail or outlook

isDisposable: Whether or not the address is registered using a disposable email system

isGovernment: Whether or not the address is under a government domain

isAcademic: Whether or not the address is under an academic domain

isMilitary: Whether or not the address is under a military domain

isGoogleWorkspace: Is this a Google Workspace custom domain? For example, some companies use Google Workspace to host email but the email domain is customized, like verified.email, rather than @gmail.com.

isOutlook365: Is this an Outlook 365 custom domain? This is similar to a Google workspace custom domain, except hosted by Outlook 365.

dateAdded: When this email address was first added to your VerifiedEmail account

dateLastVerified: When VerifiedEmail last attempted to verify the address

dateLastValid: If the address was ever valid, this shows the most recent date on which it was verified to be valid.

Scoring

VerifiedEmail assigns a score to each email address we verify, based on a variety of factors.

• 90-100 – This is a great score. The email address is valid and messages are most likely to be received.
• 70-90 – This is a solid score. We have detected some issues, but messages sent to the address are still likely to be delivered.
• Under 70 - Scores under 70 usually indicate that the address cannot receive messages or sending a message to that address is risky.
