Email validation & intelligence
Email Intelligence matches an input email address against the RampedUp validation cache — a repository of over 2.8 billion signals — and applies a validation status and a date. 162,921,602 professional email addresses sit in the contact file itself.
The addresses that hurt you are already in your database. A status without a date is an opinion; a status with a date is evidence.
Four independent signals
A status is only as good as what it was derived from, so we tell you.
Email delivery
Delivery status on tens of millions of addresses used in real marketing campaigns.
Web source emails
RampedUp scans tens of millions of corporate web pages each month. An address seen published on a company page is evidence in its own right.
Authentication
Microsoft and Google expose the ability to authenticate users of their Office and Workspace products.
SMTP negotiation
The traditional validation method, returning a VALID or INVALID response from the recipient server.
Nine validation statuses
Including the ones most vendors quietly report as "valid".
- Valid
- Confirmed as safe to send from the recipient’s mail server, or signals show the email is good.
- Invalid
- Confirmed as unsafe to send, from the recipient or from the email exhaust exchange.
- Catch All
- The mail server is configured to accept every address at the domain, so acceptance proves nothing.
- Deterministic
- A catch-all address that has also been seen on a public website — more likely to deliver than a catch-all alone.
- Unknown
- The recipient’s mail server did not return a status.
- Grey Listed
- High-security mail servers that deliberately withhold a status.
- Personal
- The domain is not associated with a company.
- Role Based
- A professional address, but not tied to a specific person.
- Free Mail
- A personal address being used for business purposes.
Catch-all is reported as catch-all. Selling a catch-all domain as verified is how a sending reputation gets destroyed by a vendor rather than by the sender.
