1. 00:00What QuickMail checks on import

   QuickMail checks the MX records of every lead you import. That tells you the domain can receive email. It doesn't tell you the mailbox exists. A domain with no valid MX is marked invalid, and gets no emails. A healthy domain proves less, as QuickMail's own guide says. Leads pass two doors. An import adds them to your account. Joining a campaign is a separate door, and that's where verification works as a filter. The filter is in campaign Settings, on the Adding leads tab. Toggle Verify Emails, pick a provider, and choose whether to reject invalid, risky, or unknown leads. That provider means QuickMail's own credits, or one of six integrations. BillionVerify isn't one of them. So our check runs on the file, before import. The route has one extra stop, between the list and QuickMail.

2. 00:51Verify the list

   Agencies can give each client a separate file in File List Verify. A job keeps running in the background. This is a sample list, not QuickMail data. Results appear as addresses finish. At the end, pick your statuses and export.

3. 01:04Read the labels

   QuickMail has five statuses, and Valid and Invalid match ours. Risky is the wide one. It holds Accept All, Role-Based and Temporary addresses, which are three separate results in our file. That matters if you run both checks. A campaign that rejects risky leads can turn away the catch-all and role addresses you meant to try. Our advice for this setup. Valid goes to your main campaign. Catch-all runs at low volume in its own rotation. Role gets separate copy. Hold back unknown. Leave out invalid and disposable.

4. 01:36Prepare the CSV

   QuickMail's CSV rules are specific. Commas only, not semicolons. 20 megabytes at most, and 49,999 rows. A header row, and a unique email for every lead. Tags work by column. Any value in a row applies the tag, and a blank doesn't. So don't map a true or false column, because false is a value too. Add your own column, and mark only the rows you want.

5. 02:00Import into QuickMail

   On the Leads page, click plus Leads, then Import from CSV. Map your columns. Under Options, choose the campaign. A report then goes to your login email. Added, Modified, Rejected. Those numbers describe your account, not the campaign, so the two counts can differ. Re-importing a list? Tick Update lead if it exists, or this happens.

6. 02:22After launch

   After launch, read the bounce type. A recipient bounce sets the lead to Bounced. A sender bounce pauses the email account, and you unpause it once your provider unblocks you. A clean list also has a shelf life.

7. 02:34What it costs

   Here's the bill. A valid, invalid, catch-all or role result takes one credit. Unknown, bad syntax and disposable take none. File uploads sit behind a paid account, and one purchase of credits opens them.
