Alice (TIM): verification results against the benchmarks

Every Alice (TIM) address BounceZero verified for customers between April and October 2026, beside the corpus benchmarks. The remainder of each row to 100% is risky and role results.

Why Alice (TIM) looks like this

Alice addresses date from the TIM and Telecom Italia consumer service. Italian ISP gateways answer probes clearly, so unknowns are rare and the invalid share is among the lowest in the corpus. Lists carrying many alice.it addresses are consumer or micro-business lists, often several years old, which is why they appear in such volume.

Alice was Telecom Italia's consumer brand until it was folded into TIM. The mailboxes still work and the gateway still answers, which is why the domain shows a low invalid rate despite its age. Italian lists carrying alice.it in volume are typically compiled from directories and old marketing databases of small businesses and individuals. Italy's privacy regulator applies consent rules to individuals and sole traders, which covers most owners of these addresses.

Where Alice (TIM) sits among providers

On confirmed-invalid rate, Alice (TIM) ranks 28 of 29 providers in the corpus, just behind Bluewin (Swisscom) at 2.4%, ahead of Bbox (Bouygues Telecom) at 0.0%.

On unknown rate, Alice (TIM) ranks 23 of 29 providers in the corpus, just behind Hotmail Australia at 3.1%, ahead of Optimum at 0.8%.

On confirmed-valid share, Alice (TIM) ranks 4 of 29 providers in the corpus, just behind Hotmail at 70.5%, ahead of Live.nl at 57.3%.

How to read these rates: they are BounceZero's probe outcomes on customer lists over April to October 2026, not a census of Alice (TIM) mailboxes. Unknown and catch-all measure what verification could not confirm, which depends on the provider's gateway policy during the window as much as on the addresses. The lists are the ones customers chose to upload, so segments dominated by a few large uploads carry their age and source. Method and limitations: benchmarks page.

Reading each result on Alice (TIM)

Unknown

Unknown results are rare on Alice (TIM): the gateway answers probes clearly, so a result you get is a result you can act on.

Invalid

Only 1.0% of Alice (TIM) addresses hard-fail, against 14.5% across non-freemail domains.

Catch-all

Catch-all is negligible on Alice (TIM) (0.0%); when this provider does return valid, the mailbox accepted the probe itself rather than a blanket accept.

Confirmed valid

With 64.7% of addresses confirmed live, Alice (TIM) is a segment you can send to from the main domain without a second thought beyond re-verifying before every send.

What to do with Alice (TIM) addresses on a list

Note the risky and role share: 31.6% of Alice (TIM) results landed there, which the four headline columns do not show. Read risky as 'deliverable but with a flag' and test it at low volume before trusting it.

Verification is reliable here, so trust the result. Segment alice.it contacts as consumer-grade: consent rules for individuals apply in Italy, and B2B legitimate-interest reasoning does not cover them.

Role addresses such as info@ and sales@ make up 0.0% of Alice (TIM) addresses in the corpus. Role addresses are rare here, as expected for a mailbox provider.
