Bulk Email Validator & List Cleaner

Paste an email list and get a verdict for every address, so you can remove the ones that will bounce before you send.

It sends no email and never contacts a mailbox. Every check uses the address itself and public DNS records. That makes it fast, and safe for your sender reputation: there is nothing for a mail server to block or report.

What it catches

Problem	Example	Verdict
Malformed address	anna@@company.com, anna.company.com	invalid
Domain does not exist	anna@company-that-closed.com	invalid
Domain accepts no mail	a parked domain with no mail server	invalid
Typo in a well-known domain	anna@gmial.com, anna@gmail.con	invalid or risky, with didYouMean: anna@gmail.com
Disposable address	x@mailinator.com	risky

Addresses that pass are marked ok. If a DNS lookup fails, the verdict is unknown rather than a guess.

What you get for each address

Field	What it is
verdict	ok, risky, invalid or unknown
reason	Why, in one code: domain-does-not-exist, domain-accepts-no-mail, domain-typo, possible-typo, disposable-address, shared-inbox, missing-at and so on
didYouMean	The corrected address when the domain looks mistyped
isRole	A shared inbox such as info@ or sales@
isFreeProvider	Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and over 100 other consumer providers
isDisposable	On the public list of throwaway email domains, loaded fresh on every run
mailServerFound, mailProvider	Whether the domain has a mail server, and who runs it (Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Proton and others)

Input

{
  "emails": ["hello@apify.com", "someone@gmial.com", "test@mailinator.com", "not-an-email"]
}

One address per line, or a pasted list separated by commas or semicolons. Entries like Anna Berg <anna@company.com> are understood. Duplicates are checked, and charged, once.

Output example

{
  "input": "someone@gmial.com",
  "email": "someone@gmial.com",
  "domain": "gmial.com",
  "verdict": "invalid",
  "reason": "domain-typo",
  "didYouMean": "someone@gmail.com",
  "isRole": false,
  "isFreeProvider": false,
  "isDisposable": true,
  "mailServerFound": false,
  "mailProvider": null
}

Pricing

$0.50 per 1,000 addresses ($0.0005 each). One charge per unique address checked.

A list of 10,000 addresses costs $5. 100,000 addresses cost $50.

Each run also has a start charge of $0.00005. There is no separate charge for computing time. Apify's paid plans get 10% to 30% off these prices; the Pricing tab shows yours. Apify's free plan includes $5 of credit a month, which covers 10,000 addresses.

What it does not do

It does not confirm that an individual mailbox exists. An address at a working domain is marked ok even if that person has left the company. Tools that probe mailboxes can catch those, at the cost of speed and of being blocked by many mail servers. Use this one as the fast first pass that removes the certain failures.

Questions

Can I run it on a schedule?

Yes. Save your input as a task and add an Apify schedule, for example every morning.

How do I get the results into Excel or Google Sheets?

Every run's results can be downloaded as Excel, CSV or JSON from the run's Output tab. Apify's integrations with Make, Zapier, n8n and Google Sheets can pass them on automatically.

Can I call it from my own code or from an AI agent?

Yes. The API tab has ready-made code for Python, JavaScript and cURL, and the tool can be connected to AI agents through Apify's MCP server.
