    Why it matters

    Sending to invalid addresses drives up bounce rate, which is the fastest way to destroy sender reputation.

    How it works

    • Run the full list through a verifier such as NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, or Debounce
    • Keep only valid and safe to send addresses
    • Discard catch all, invalid, and unknown results
