- [1] This value is dependent on the amount data that is available for the address. The service then analyzes the data to estimate the integrity of the address.
- [2] An unknown return value indicates that either there was not enough information available about the recipient’s mail server to determine deliverability or the server is a catch-all. In general, catch-all mail servers will always initially accept an email message, even if the email address does not exist.
- [3] New codes and descriptions will be added as new features become available and the number of codes will increase in time. See the table for our current list of codes & descriptions.
