Upload Your Emails

Upload a CSV or enter a single address straight from your CRM, spreadsheets, or marketing tools.

Verify in Real Time

Run SMTP-level checks on every address and get each one classified accurately.

Download Clean Results

Export your verified list with clear status labels, then filter it and send right away.

Get More Accurate Results with Multi-Layer Email Verification

Validate every address with SMTP-level checks, including the RCPT TO command, without sending a single email. This goes beyond basic email validation to confirm the mailbox itself can receive mail, and Email Verifier retries each check multiple times before it assigns a final status, so you act on results you can trust.

Email Verifier vs Email Checker vs Email Validator: What's the Difference?

Email Verifier

Checks every layer, including the address format, the domain, and whether the mailbox itself can receive mail, before giving you a Valid, Invalid or Risky result.

Email Checker

Simply the tool you use to run that check, for one address or a whole list, showing a clear result for every email so you know which ones are safe to send.

Email Validator

The narrower piece inside it, confirming the format is correct (such as the @ sign and domain spelling), without checking whether the mailbox exists.

ReachStream's email verifier runs all six checks, so you get a clear answer, not just a format check.

Know What Every Email Verification Result Means

Get one of five clear statuses for every email, plus the next step to take.

  • Valid

    Active and deliverable. Send with confidence.

    Safe to send
  • Invalid

    The mailbox does not exist. Drop it from your list.

    Remove before sending
  • Catch-all

    The domain accepts all emails, so delivery to this address isn't guaranteed. Resolve it before you send.

    Flag for reviewResolve
  • Risky / Unknown

    Mailbox behavior is inconsistent, so deliverability is uncertain. Resolve it before you send.

    Flag for reviewResolve
  • Do Not Mail

    High-risk or a potential spam trap. Keep it out of every send.

    Remove before sending

Catch-All Resolver

New

Stop guessing on Catch-All and Risky emails. Resolve them.

Run a deeper verification on every Catch-All and Risky result, see which addresses are likely deliverable, and send with confidence instead of deleting real leads.

  • Recover real contacts hidden inside catch-all domains
  • Remove likely bounces before your campaign goes out
  • Resolve results inside Email Verifier, with no extra tools
Resolve My Emails

Email Verifier FAQs: Verification, Validation and Free Checks

What is ReachStream Email Verifier?

ReachStream Email Verifier is a real-time email verification tool that tells you whether an email address is valid, active, and safe to send to before you reach out. Use it to verify a single email, clean a full list in bulk, or automate checks with the Email Verification API. It runs SMTP-level validation to cut bounce rates, protect your sender reputation, and improve email deliverability.

How does email verification work?

Email verification checks an address in layers before you send to it. ReachStream Email Verifier runs six checks on every email: syntax, domain, MX records, an SMTP handshake (RCPT TO), mailbox response, and risk analysis for catch-all and spam trap signals. It retries the checks multiple times, then assigns one of five statuses so you know exactly what to do with each address.

Why should you verify email addresses before sending?

Verify email addresses before sending to stop hard bounces, avoid spam traps, and protect your sender reputation. Invalid and risky addresses push up bounce rates, which sends your emails toward spam folders and wastes sending budget. Verify first, and every campaign goes only to addresses that can actually receive it.

How accurate is ReachStream Email Verifier?

ReachStream Email Verifier delivers up to 99.8% accuracy. It gets there by combining AI-powered validation, SMTP-level checks with multiple retry attempts, and ongoing quality review processes.

Does ReachStream Email Verifier send an email to verify an address?

No. ReachStream Email Verifier never sends an email to the address it checks. It uses the SMTP RCPT TO command to ask the receiving mail server whether the mailbox exists, then closes the connection before any message is delivered. The contact never sees the check.

What's the difference between single email verification and bulk email verification?

Use single email verification to check one address in real time before individual outreach. It costs 1 credit and returns a result in seconds. Use bulk email verification to upload a CSV, verify thousands of addresses at once, and download a status-labeled file ready to filter and send.

Does ReachStream Email Verifier have an API?

Yes. Use the Email Verification API to automate verification in signup forms, SaaS platforms, CRMs, and internal systems. It supports secure API key authentication and asynchronous bulk verification, and it's built for high-volume use. API access is included starting on the Pro plan. Check the API documentation for full request and response schemas.

How much does ReachStream Email Verifier cost?

ReachStream Email Verifier uses credit-based pricing: 1 credit verifies 1 email. Start with a 30-day Free Trial that includes 100 credits and needs no credit card. Then choose a Starter, Growth, or Pro plan on a monthly or annual subscription, or get a custom-volume Enterprise plan. Compare Email Verifier plans.

Is ReachStream Email Verifier secure and compliant with data privacy regulations?

Yes. ReachStream Email Verifier is ISO 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type II certified, and compliant with GDPR, CCPA, PIPEDA, and DPDPA 2023. Review every certification and policy in the Trust Center.

How do I check if an email address is valid?

Paste the address into an email checker. It confirms the format is right, the domain exists and accepts mail (MX records), and the mailbox is reachable with an SMTP check, all without sending a message. ReachStream then labels the result Valid, Invalid, Catch-all, Risky or Do Not Mail.

Is this email address real?

Enter it in the email checker above. In seconds you will see if the address is valid, invalid, risky or a catch-all, so you know whether it is safe to send to. A single check does not send any email to the address.

What is the difference between email verification and email validation?

Email validation checks the format of an address, such as the @ sign and domain spelling. Email verification goes further and confirms the mailbox exists and can receive mail. An email checker or verifier does both, so you get a clear send or do-not-send answer.

Can I verify emails for free?

Yes. You can check single emails for free. A 30-day free trial adds 100 credits to verify a list, and no credit card is needed. Paid plans cover larger lists.

Can I verify a whole email list at once?

Yes. Upload a CSV file and the bulk email verifier checks the whole list in one run, up to 25,000 emails. Download the clean results when it finishes. See our bulk email verifier page for details.

How often should I re-verify my email list?

Email lists go stale as people change jobs and domains close. As a general rule, verify a list before every large campaign, and again if it is more than a few months old. This is general guidance, not a ReachStream guarantee.
