Category Definitions

Below is a list of category definitions mailfloss uses to identify email addresses.

 

Invalid

These emails fail syntax checking and are invalid.

 

Spam

These email addresses are flagged as spam accounts.

 

Role

Emails are of role, such as administrator. Although they may be valid, role emails tend to perform poorly and may affect deliverability rates.

 

Banned

Emails belonging to a banned keyword or domain. These are swear words and others that tend to be fake and perform poorly.

 

Disposable

These emails are from disposable email services that are temporary. They are not worth emailing and will affect deliverability.

 

Illegitimate

The domains of these emails do not have valid mx records and thus do not accept emails.

 

Available

The domains are available and the emails are likely old and invalid.

 

Unverified

The emails appear to be good but we could not verify because the domain is not responding.

 

Blacklisted

Emails contain blacklisted keywords defined by the user.

 

Bounced

Emails sent to this address hard bounce and should not be emailed.

 

Accept All

These email addresses at this domain look good, but any email address at this domain look good and cannot be verified completely.

 

We’re continually refining our processes and algorithms. If you feel we’ve miscategorized some of your emails, please get in touch. If you are doing a manual floss, you can report the mistake by clicking on the “Report as Incorrect” button.
