Notes

  • The validation checks both email format and deliverability
  • Catch-all domains accept emails to any address at that domain
  • A valid email means it can receive messages
  • The validation process may take a few seconds for thorough checking
  • Some corporate domains may have catch-all enabled for security reasons
