The 5-Stage Verification Pipeline

Every email passes through five layers of deep analysis. Each stage adds intelligence that basic validators simply don't have.

1

Syntax & Local Part Analysis

10+ Checks

Deep structural validation far beyond simple regex. We analyze the actual composition of the email address to detect anomalies invisible to basic validators.

RFC 5321/5322 Compliance Disposable Email Detection Role-Based Address Detection Entropy Analysis Pattern Detection Homograph Protection
2

Domain Intelligence

11+ DNS Lookups

We don't just check if a domain has MX records. We build a complete intelligence profile of the mail infrastructure, authentication policies, and domain reputation.

MX Resolution & Priority SPF Validation DKIM Probing DMARC Policy BIMI Record MTA-STS Policy DANE/TLSA Domain Age & WHOIS Reverse DNS Provider Fingerprinting ASN Intelligence
3

SMTP Deep Verification

Advanced

Our SMTP engine doesn't just ping the server. It uses multiple verification strategies, handles greylisting automatically, and employs a 3-probe technique to accurately detect catch-all domains.

RCPT TO Verification VRFY Command Greylisting Auto-Retry Catch-All 3-Probe Detection Response Timing Analysis TLS Certificate Inspection
4

Social & Digital Footprint

OSINT

Real people leave digital traces. We cross-reference the email against multiple social and identity signals to determine if a real human is behind the address.

Gravatar Profile Detection Breach Database Cross-Reference Developer Profile Lookup Business Email Detection
5

Intelligence Enrichment

Deep Intel

The final stage enriches the verification with advanced intelligence signals that only a purpose-built platform can provide. This is where BounceZero separates from every other service.

Certificate Transparency Logs Spamtrap Detection Email Lifecycle Estimation Network Reputation

Bayesian + ML Scoring Engine

Every verification signal feeds into our dual scoring engine. Unlike services that return a simple "valid/invalid", BounceZero calculates a precise probability score from 0-100 using 40+ weighted signals.

Bayesian Likelihood Ratios

Each signal contributes a mathematically weighted likelihood ratio. Signals that matter more weigh more.

Machine Learning Blend

ML models trained on real verification data blend with Bayesian priors for maximum accuracy.

Temporal Decay

Signal freshness matters. Older data points decay in weight automatically to keep scores current.

AI Explanation

"This email is highly likely to be deliverable. The domain has strong authentication (SPF+DKIM+DMARC), the mailbox was confirmed via SMTP, and a social profile exists, indicating a real user."

Everything You Get

Built for teams who need more than just "valid" or "invalid". Every feature below comes with every verification.

Disposable Email Detection

Detects temporary email services like Guerrilla Mail, Mailinator, and hundreds of others. Block fake signups before they happen.

Full Authentication Analysis

SPF, DKIM, DMARC, BIMI, MTA-STS, and DANE records analyzed in one pass. Know exactly how well a domain protects its email.

Greylisting Auto-Retry

When servers temporarily reject (greylisting), we automatically retry. Other services report these as "unknown" — we get the real answer.

Catch-All 3-Probe Detection

We send three strategic probes (known-good, random, target) to accurately determine if a domain accepts all emails or just valid ones.

Social Profile Detection

Cross-references against Gravatar, developer platforms, and breach databases. Real people leave digital traces — we find them.

Spamtrap Detection

ML-powered detection of potential spamtrap addresses. Sending to spamtraps destroys your sender reputation — we catch them first.

Domain Age & History

WHOIS lookups reveal domain age, registration dates, and history. New domains are high-risk. We factor this into every score.

Bulk Processing Engine

Upload lists of millions. Our concurrent pipeline processes them with full 5-stage verification for every single email. Export clean results as CSV.

RESTful API

Full API access with 30+ endpoints. Single verification, bulk jobs, domain intelligence, webhooks, and list analysis. Integrate anywhere.

What Our Users Say

From solo developers to enterprise marketing teams — real results from real users.

"We cleaned a 120k list before our Black Friday campaign. Bounce rate dropped from 9.2% to 0.8% overnight. The catch-all 3-probe detection alone saved us from getting our domain blacklisted."

MT

Marcus T.

Email Marketing Manager, ShopNest

"I use BounceZero at signup to block disposable and fake emails. Our free-to-paid conversion went up 18% because we're only nurturing real users now. The API integration took me under 30 minutes."

PS

Priya S.

Founder, Clarifio SaaS

"The social profile detection and AI-powered explanations are in a different league. We use the digital footprint data to score leads — contacts with a GitHub and LinkedIn profile convert 3x better."

DR

Daniel R.

Head of Growth, Nexara B2B

"Switched from a major competitor after they couldn't handle our catch-all domains properly. BounceZero's triple-probe approach gives us actual confidence levels, not just a binary pass/fail."

SK

Sofia K.

CTO, DigitalWave Agency

"As a deliverability consultant, I've tested every major verifier. BounceZero is the only one that exposes SPF/DKIM/DMARC per-email AND checks Certificate Transparency logs. It's built by people who actually understand email."

JL

James L.

Independent Email Deliverability Consultant

"We run quarterly re-engagement campaigns to 200k+ contacts. The Bayesian scoring with temporal decay is exactly what we needed — addresses that haven't shown activity in months get weighted correctly. No other tool does this."
