Bad Email Lists Kill Campaigns

If you've ever experienced these problems, you know the pain:

High Bounce Rates

Every hard bounce signals to ESPs that you're not maintaining your list. Above 2% and you're in trouble.

Spam Folder Prison

Once your sender score drops, even legitimate emails end up in spam. Recovery takes months.

Wasted Money

You're paying to send emails that never arrive. Cleaning your list before sending saves real money.

Multi-Layer Verification
Beyond Simple Syntax Checks

We don't just check if an email looks valid. We verify it actually exists and is safe to send to.

MX Record Verification

We check DNS records to confirm the domain can receive email at all.

SMTP Validation

Direct mailbox verification confirms the specific address exists and accepts mail.

Disposable Detection

Catch temporary email addresses from 10MinuteMail, Guerrilla Mail, and 3,000+ others.

Spam Trap Detection

Identify known spam traps and abuse addresses that destroy sender reputation.

Catch-All Detection

Identify domains that accept all emails—high risk for invalid addresses.

Role Account Detection

Flag generic addresses like info@, support@, and sales@ that rarely engage.

Three Ways to Validate

Whether you need real-time API validation, bulk list cleaning, or automatic ESP monitoring—we've got you covered.

1

Real-Time API

Validate emails at the point of capture. Add a single API call to your signup forms and catch bad emails before they enter your database.

POST /v1/validate/single
Response in ~200ms
2

Batch CSV Upload

Upload your entire email list as a CSV. We'll process it in the background and notify you when results are ready to download.

ESP Webhooks

Connect your ESP (Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, SES) to automatically track bounces and complaints. Data is stored as hashes only—we can't read the original emails.

ESP → Webhook → Hash → Auto-flag

What Our Users Say

"Our bounce rate dropped from 4.2% to 0.3% after integrating BounceShift into our signup flow. The API is fast and the documentation is excellent."

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is the validation?

We use multi-layer verification including DNS checks, SMTP verification, and pattern analysis. For most emails, accuracy exceeds 98%. Catch-all domains are flagged separately since they accept any address.

Do you store my email data?

No. Emails you validate are processed and cached briefly (24 hours), then deleted. For our reputation database (webhook data), we store only one-way cryptographic hashes—not the actual email addresses. We literally cannot read, export, or sell your data because we don't have it.

Do credits expire?

No. Credits never expire. Buy what you need, use them when you need them.

How fast is the API?

Single email validation typically completes in 200-500ms. Batch processing runs in parallel—a list of 100K emails processes in minutes.

What ESP webhooks do you support?

We support Mailgun, SendGrid, Postmark, and Amazon SES. Connect your ESP once, and we'll automatically track bounces and complaints. All email addresses are immediately hashed—we store only the hash, never the original address. We can't read or export your data.

Is there a free trial?

Yes. Every new account gets 100 free credits to test the service. No credit card required.
