Will your email reach the inbox?

Grade any sending domain A to F in seconds: MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and the major blacklists, with exact fixes for whatever we find.

Try:stripe.comgithub.comsievemails.comWe only read public DNS records.

The toolkit

From raw list to safe send

One account covers the quick single check, the 10,000-row cleanup, and the domain audit in between.

Single validation

Run one address through the full 8-layer pipeline and see every verdict with a confidence score.

Bulk validation

Paste or upload a list, then export a clean / risky / rejected breakdown as CSV when it's done.

Deliverability audit

Score a sending domain A to F across MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC and blacklists before you hit send.

Private by default

Uploaded lists are encrypted at rest, isolated to your account, and deletable any time.

Eight layers, one verdict

Every address, fully scrutinized

Each email runs through eight independent checks across three phases. When live SMTP probing is available we verify the mailbox directly; otherwise we fall back to a thorough DNS-only analysis. You always get a transparent, layer-by-layer breakdown.

Why Sieve

Evidence, not guesses

Most verifiers hand you a label. Sieve shows its work, so you can defend every send.

Verdict receipts

Every address comes back with evidence: the MX host we spoke to and the exact SMTP reply, not just a colored label you have to take on faith.

Catch-all confidence

Catch-all domains get a scored confidence instead of a shrug, so half your list stops hiding behind the word unknown.

Honest by default

When a mailbox cannot be probed live, we say so and show the DNS-only verdict, instead of dressing a guess up as a fact.
