An email checker does not have to return a single verdict, and this one does not. It returns deliverability plus the signals that qualify it, because an address can accept mail perfectly and still be the wrong address to keep. That is the difference between this email checker and a plain valid/invalid tool.
The deliverability half comes from a live SMTP conversation with the receiving server. The risk half comes from disposable-provider, role-account, catch-all, and free-webmail signals. An email risk checker running both in one pass means you never reconcile two tools that disagree.
Every flag is reported separately rather than folded into one score. An email risk checker that collapses catch-all into deliverable is optimising its own accuracy figure; this email deliverability risk checker reports the uncertainty and lets your policy decide.
