MX Lookup

Every address is checked at the DNS level: the actor resolves the mail domain's MX records and reports what it found.

Field	Meaning
mxFound	true when the domain publishes at least one mail server
mxHost	The lowest-preference (primary) mail server
mxRecords	Every MX record found, in preference order
mxProvider	Who runs the mail: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho, Proton, ...
mxStatus	found, no_records, no_such_domain, timeout, error, or skipped

Inputs

• MX Lookup - turn the check on or off (default: on).
• Only keep contacts whose domain has an MX record - drop unreachable domains. Only a definite negative (no_records / no_such_domain) drops a contact; a timeout or resolver error is treated as unknown and the lead is kept.
• MX lookup timeout (seconds) - per-domain DNS budget, 1-15s.

This is a domain-level check. It confirms the domain can receive mail; it does not verify that an individual mailbox exists.
