Frequently Asked Questions

1. How does the fake email checker work?

The checker validates syntax, resolves domain MX records, connects to the mail server over SMTP to confirm mailbox existence, and cross-references the domain against a database of 10,000+ known disposable and fake email providers — returning a fake or real result in under 2 seconds.

2. What makes an email address fake?

A fake email address typically uses a disposable email service (like Mailinator or Guerrilla Mail), a temporary domain that expires, a misspelled or fraudulent domain, or points to a mailbox that does not actually exist on the mail server. BillionVerify checks all of these signals.

3. What are disposable emails and why are they a problem?

Disposable emails are temporary addresses created through services like Mailinator, 10-minute-mail, or Guerrilla Mail. Users create them to bypass signup requirements without giving their real address. They hurt your list quality, inflate sign-up metrics, and reduce engagement rates.

4. How accurately does BillionVerify detect fake emails?

BillionVerify achieves 99.9% accuracy by combining disposable domain detection, syntax validation, DNS lookups, and direct SMTP verification. This multi-layer approach catches fake addresses that single-method checkers miss.

5. Is the fake email checker free?

Yes. You get 100 free fake email checks every day with no signup and no credit card required. Every check includes disposable domain detection, SMTP verification, and full risk 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.
