Guide on Checks and Detailed Report
RFC Syntax Check
As you are aware, any email address follows a specific syntax, or a specific set of rules originally standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in the 1980s. An email address, such as user.name@example.domain.com, is made up from a local-part, the symbol @, and a domain name. RFC Syntax checks makes sure that the email address is of the correct RFC format.
Domain Syntax check
As you are aware, any email address follows a specific syntax, or a specific set of rules originally standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) in the 1980s. An email address, such as user.name@example.domain.com, is made up from a local-part, the symbol @, and a domain name. The domain part also should follow a universally accepted standard syntax. Domain syntax checks whether the domain syntax is correct
Domain Extension Check
The right-most label conveys the top-level domain (.biz or .com or .org). The hierarchy of domains descends from the right to the left label in the name; each label to the left specifies a subdivision, or subdomain of the domain to the right. (user.name@example.domain.com). This check ensures that the Top Level Domain (TLD) is an authorized extension.
Domain Availability Check
A domain level check validates whether the domain name exists or not, by checking the global DNS servers.
Mail Server verification
Mail server check checks and validates the domain specified in the email address has a Mail server to receive emails without which your campaigns will fail.
Mailbox Check
Checks if a user with the email address is existing in the domain.
Role Email / Broadcast Email Flagging
A built-in powerful feature of cmercury-verify, it flags if an email address is a role address ( marketing@example.com, support@company.com etc.) Role email addresses typically define a responsibility rather than a person. Therefore, there is a greater unlikeliness for a role email to give consent to receive marketing emails. A subcategory of Role addresses is called “Broadcast” addresses. Any emails send to these addresses go to many people attached to the broadcast list and increases multi-fold the risk of spam complaints and invalids impacting your email deliverability.
Disposable ( Temporary) Emails Flagging
Disposable email is a service that allows a registered user to receive email at a temporary address that expires after a certain time period elapses. They are basically used by customers who does not want their email address to be used for spamming. Many online discussion forums, blogs and websites ask visitors to register before they can post comments, view premium content or download white papers. A disposable email account will allow the visitor to sign up and verify his registration without exposing his primary email account to spam.
