Hi there! πŸ‘‹

As you know, SalesBlink can help you verify email addresses in your lists to reduce your email bounces. ➿

Once verified, an email address is assigned one of the following statuses:

βœ… Valid

  • This means the email address is valid and your cold email πŸ“§ will be received by them.

🟑 Risky

  • This means we were unable to identify if the email πŸ“§ addresses are valid.

  • It happens because their email server has a catch-all setting to prevent tools like ours to define if they are correct.

  • That being said, you can send cold email πŸ“§ to them if you believe it represents a real human.

❌ Invalid

  • This means the email address is invalid and your cold email πŸ“§ will bounce (lowering your domain reputation).

Verifying Email = No Email Bounces = Better Email Deliverability

πŸ”΄ Email Verification is at best 99.99% accurate and that means it might give false positives or false negatives at times.

Hope you found this help doc on email verification statuses useful! πŸ˜ƒ
