Email Verification – Tips On Selecting An Email List Verifier

Email verification software solutions have been around just as long as the need for email verification was felt and if you are looking for a solution to have your business to business email campaign lists verifed there are several options which may vary in terms of accuracy and effectiveness. Other than the pricing factor for each software have a look to see what exactly each email list verifier does and if it fulfils your expectations of accuracy?

If you have tried several email verification tools, you would know there are instances when your verifier software tells you that and email address is good while when you send an email to the same address from your webmail account, it may bounce or show you a failiure. This is because some software mainly strips the domain part of the address and validates whether the domain is correct without really checking the validity of the entire email address. This is useful for very large email lists where you may just want to filter out the complete junk records but it wont give you a very high level of accuracy. The other, more comprehnsive type of software will first check the domain with a DNS request and also emulate sending a mail and connecting with the receipients email server using SMTP. These will tell you whether the user is a valid one or not and give you better accuracy. Although there can still be issues in accuracy caused by company email security setups like anti-spam filters, firewalls and email catch configurations, there are a large number of tools that will do the job and filter out bad email addresses. Some sample options of email list verifiers are:
