The 12-Layer Verification Engine

Every email passes through our deep 12-stage inspection pipeline in milliseconds before being classified as deliverable.

Layer 01

RFC 5322 Syntax & Typo

Validates characters, domain structure, and corrects obvious misspellings like @gnail.com to @gmail.com.

Zero credits wasted on invalid syntax
Layer 02

Domain & DNS Records

Queries authoritative nameservers for valid A, AAAA, and MX routing records with active TTL heartbeat.

Dead host filter
Layer 03

Deep SMTP Socket Ping

Establishes a real TLS socket handshake directly with the destination MTA without ever sending an email.

Zero recipient notification
Layer 04

Catch-All Server Detection

Tests random entropy tokens to identify if the mail server is configured to accept any arbitrary alias.

Eliminate silent catch-all drops
Layer 05

Disposable & Burner Shield

Filters out over 3,500+ temporary burner providers like Mailinator, 10MinuteMail, and GuerillaMail in real-time.

3,500+ burner domains

ESP fingerprinting
Layer 10

Mailbox Full & Quota Check

Pre-bounce detection
Layer 11

SMTP Response Code Analysis

Evaluates exact raw diagnostic codes (250 OK, 550 User Unknown, 553 Relay Denied) for unambiguous verdict.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know About Email Verification

Common technical questions about our 12-layer verification engine, bounce protection, and credit usage.

Dottor Mail communicates directly with the recipient's mail server (MTA) via SMTP socket protocol. We initiate the HELO/EHLO handshake and query the mailbox status using RCPT TO commands. Once the server confirms whether the mailbox exists (250 OK or 550 User Unknown), our engine immediately terminates the connection with QUIT before any email data or subject line is ever transmitted. The recipient never receives an email.
