Email is correct but recognized as a disposable address.

Disposable emails are temporary accounts used to avoid using a real personal account during a sign-up process. Common providers of disposable emails include Mailinator, Guerilla Mail, AirMail, and 10 Minute Mail. These emails are fake or temporary emails. We advise you not to send any emails to this address.

Email is correct, but the email server has a catch-all policy.

This is also known as a “catch-all”. This is a domain-wide setting where all emails on this domain will be reported as a catch-all. There is no definitive way to determine whether this email is valid or invalid. 

If you have a dedicated email server with your own IPs, catch-all emails may be safe for sending dependent on the overall health of your list.

If you use a third-party email provider that requires a bounce rate below 4%, these emails are not safe for sending.

Email is correct, but can’t be associated with a particular person.

Role-based email addresses (like admin@, help@, sales@, leads@) are email addresses that are not associated with a particular person, but rather with a company, department, position, or group of recipients. They are not generally intended for personal use, as they typically include a distribution list of recipients.

This may be due to an issue with their internal network or expired domain names. Unknown addresses are checked up to 3 times before this result code is given.

If you have a dedicated email server with your own IPs, unknown emails are normally safe for sending.
