What information does the validation report contain?

  • Knowledge base
  • » Hosted email validation service

After our hosted email validation service finishes processing a list of email addresses, it allows the owner of the list to view and download a detailed validation report with complete information about each email address under test.

The report is available in either Microsoft Excel (2000 or higher) or CSV (Comma-Separated Values) file format, and contains one row of data for each email address of the list; every row includes the following fields:


Heading fields

Field Description
InputData The input email address, as supplied to the hosted email validation service.
For example: alice@example.com
CreatedOn Creation date and time of the item.
CompletedOn Completion date and time of the item.


Validation result status fields

Field Description
ResultStatus The status code for the validation result (please see below for additional details).
For example: SmtpConnectionTimeout


Grouping fields


The following fields act as short-hands for the direct test of the ResultStatus field (shown above), ease the processing of the report and make it more readable at the human eyes too.

Field Description
ResultIsCatchAllFailure TRUE if the mail exchanger responsible for the email address accepts every email addresses, even fake ones, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsDisposableEmailAddress TRUE if the address comes from a temporary, disposable email address provider, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsSuccess TRUE if the validation is completely successful, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsSyntaxFailure TRUE if there is a syntax failure, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsDnsFailure TRUE if a DNS error happens during the validation, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsMailboxFailure TRUE if an error occurred during mailbox validation, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsNetworkFailure TRUE if a network error occurred during validation, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsSmtpFailure TRUE if an error occurred during the SMTP validation, FALSE otherwise.
ResultIsDisposableEmailAddressFailure Reserved for future use, please do not consider this field.
ResultIsTimeoutFailure TRUE in the event of a timeout failure while connecting to or receiving data from the external mail exchanger, FALSE otherwise.
