Today we launched a new and important parameter to evaluate spambots. According to our statistics, almost 30% of all spam requests are made with fake email addresses, i.e. such addresses do not exist.
Previously, we could only check the existence of emails after the fact and use these data in the future; now we have started checking emails in real-time.
This new feature of CleanTalk grants the ability to check email addresses for existence in real-time.
Non-existing email addresses also entail several other problems for website owners:
• You can never contact them by email,
• The client will never receive any notifications from you (account activation letter, password recovery, email distribution, notifications, etc.),
• If you use email marketing for your clients, then a large number of nonexistent emails in the mailing list may result in your IP address being added to various blacklists of email servers.
The anti-spam service will block all requests with not real email addresses.
You can control such requests in the anti-spam dashboard, non-existent emails will have the “Fake email” status.
Checking emails for existence is available for all anti-spam plugins and is included in the standard package.
