How VeriMails Solves This
Catch-all probability scoring
VeriMails doesn't just flag catch-all domains — we score each address 0-100 for deliverability probability. Include addresses scoring 80+ with confidence. Skip anything below 30. This recovers 15-30% of your list that other verifiers force you to discard.
Real-time API for list building
Verify addresses as you collect them. Our API responds in under 2 seconds per address. Build verification into your scraping pipeline, CRM imports, or manual research workflow. Catch bad addresses before they ever enter your list.
Bulk CSV processing for existing lists
Upload your entire list as a CSV. VeriMails processes thousands of addresses with full SMTP verification and catch-all scoring. Download results with confidence scores and verification status for each address.
Free tier for ongoing list hygiene
50 free verifications daily means you can continuously verify new leads as you find them. No credit card, no expiry. Perfect for maintaining list quality between bulk verification runs.
Recommended Workflow
1. Scrape or purchase your lead list. 2. Upload CSV to VeriMails for bulk verification. 3. Remove invalid, disposable, and role-based addresses. 4. For catch-all results, use probability scores: include 70+ scores, review 40-70, discard below 40. 5. As you add new leads, verify in real-time via API. 6. Re-verify lists older than 30 days before re-sending.
Pricing for Cold Email
Most cold email operators verify 10,000-50,000 emails monthly. The Pro plan ($29/mo for 10K) covers initial campaigns. The Business plan ($79/mo for 50K) is ideal for scaled operations. Both include catch-all scoring at no extra cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I re-verify my cold email list?
Re-verify any list older than 30 days before sending. Email addresses go stale at a rate of 2-3% per month. For high-value campaigns, re-verify weekly. VeriMails' pricing makes frequent re-verification cost-effective.
What bounce rate should I target for cold email?
Keep your bounce rate below 2%. Ideally under 1%. With VeriMails verification including catch-all scoring, most users achieve 0.5-1.5% bounce rates on verified lists.
Should I send to catch-all addresses?
With VeriMails' probability scoring, yes — selectively. Addresses scoring 80+ on catch-all domains are very likely valid. Below 30, skip them. This approach lets you reach valid contacts on catch-all domains without the bouncing risk of sending to all of them.
Will verification slow down my campaign workflow?
No. VeriMails bulk processing handles thousands of addresses quickly, and our API responds in under 2 seconds for real-time verification. Build verification into your existing workflow without adding delays.
Is VeriMails compliant for cold email use?
VeriMails is an email verification service — we check if addresses are deliverable. Compliance for cold email outreach (CAN-SPAM, GDPR) depends on your practices. Verification is a best practice for compliance because it reduces complaints from invalid or abandoned addresses.
