How to Verify Lists Before Sending via SendGrid

1

Export from SendGrid

Marketing Campaigns > Contacts > Export. For API-managed lists, pull contacts via the SendGrid Marketing Contacts API.

2

Upload to BounceZero

Create a free account and upload your CSV in the Bulk Verification section. BounceZero auto-detects the email column.

3

Run 5-stage verification

Syntax, DNS/MX, live SMTP mailbox, provider intelligence, and ML scoring. 65+ signals per address - far beyond SendGrid's built-in validation.

4

Download clean results

Filter to Deliverable for your safe-to-send list. Invalid, Disposable, Role, and Catch-All addresses are all flagged.

5

Suppress invalids in SendGrid

Add invalid addresses to SendGrid's Global Suppression list or a dedicated Unsubscribe Group. This prevents any future send - even transactional - to those addresses.
