Deliverability & Email Validation

Deliverability depends on multiple factors. When preparing to deploy an email marketing campaign, ask yourself the following questions:

• Is the message personalized and relevant to the recipient?
• Does the email campaign comply with the CAN-SPAM Act ?
• Is the email list clean and void of hard bounces?

Exact Data validates every email list prior to list turnover. This means each email is put through the following process:

• Email address syntax check. We remove addresses that don’t resemble legitimate addresses such as larry#yahoo.com, donald!@$aol,com, etc.
• Availability of the domain of email address. We check the availability of the domain. For example, we verify valid addresses like jsmith@exactdata.com or jsmith@yahoo.com, and mark nonexistent domains as "invalid" and remove them from your list.
• Existence of the email address on its mail server. We establish an SMTP connection with the mail server for each address individually.

By starting with a clean, validated list, you will improve your deliverability rate and enjoy greater success.

We offer Email Validation as a service for our client’s lists too! We’ll take your current email list and return full reporting including the current status on each email address.
