Email verification

Easily verify your email lists

For your larger email lists, you will want to visit the My lists section where you will be able to upload and verify CSV or TXT files. If you are a MailerLite user, you will also be able to utilize our integration to verify your existing MailerLite groups.

The circle chart visualizes the types of email statuses found in your list during the verification process. The number in the center is the number of emails that were verified on your list.

The right side of the page displays individual statuses, along with the number of emails within a given status.  

The download button will download a CSV file for a specific status, or you can download all results.
