Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the real email checker work?

The checker validates syntax, resolves domain MX records, then connects to the mail server over SMTP to confirm the mailbox accepts incoming mail. It also cross-references the domain against a database of known fake and disposable email services — returning a result in under 2 seconds.

2. How can you tell if an email is fake?

Fake emails typically come from disposable email services, use unregistered or misspelled domains, or point to mail servers that reject the mailbox. BillionVerify checks all of these signals automatically and flags suspicious addresses.

3. How accurate is the real email check?

BillionVerify achieves 99.9% accuracy by combining syntax validation, DNS lookups, MX record checks, and direct SMTP verification. This multi-layer approach catches fake, inactive, and suspicious addresses that basic validators miss.

4. Does the checker detect disposable emails?

Yes. BillionVerify maintains a database of 10,000+ known disposable and temporary email services and flags any address that uses one. A disposable address may technically deliver, but it is unlikely to belong to a real, engaged user.

5. Is the real email checker free?

Yes. You get 100 free checks every day with no signup and no credit card required. Every check includes full SMTP verification, disposable detection, and MX record analysis.

6. Do you store the emails I check?

No. All checks run in real time and we never store the addresses you submit. Data is encrypted in transit and deleted immediately after processing.
