100% mailbox-level checks · 68,400 throwaway domains tracked

A throwaway address is not a good address.

We ran six live temp-mail generators through the market leader. All six came back valid. B4Valid names them: Disposable — a verdict of its own, never folded into Valid. 100 addresses go from upload to results in about one second.

Instant check & verdict

Five verdicts. Only one clears the send.

Pass/fail hides the two categories that cost money: throwaways that accept, and catch-alls that accept everything.

Deliverable
Mailbox confirmed, domain has history, not on any throwaway list.
Send
Undeliverable
Rejected at the server. Hard bounce if you send it.
Remove
!
Risky
Catch-all, role account, or full mailbox — accepted, unproven.

Each address was created minutes before the test and could receive mail at check time. Both engines were correct about the mailbox; only one was useful about the sender.

Step 3
You get a detailed validity report
Schedules

Set the date. It verifies before you ask.

Pick any list and any cadence you like — a fixed date, a weekday, a time of day, or a one-off run next Tuesday at 06:00. The engine runs while you sleep and the clean list is waiting before your words begin.

Lists decay about 2% a month. A schedule catches the decay before the send does, and only ever charges for rows it actually checks.

Email validation

Every address runs syntax, MX, registry and live SMTP checks and comes back with one of five verdicts — deliverable, undeliverable, risky, catch-all or unknown — plus the reason it landed there.

What do people say about B4Valid?

AR
Alexander Reid
Growth lead
★★★★★
We had 4,000 “valid” addresses from another engine. B4Valid named 380 of them disposable in under a minute. Our bounce rate halved on the next send.
DO
Dana Osei
Developer
★★★★★
Two endpoints, honest docs, and a test key that does not touch the balance. I had signup validation live the same afternoon.
SI
Sana Iqbal
Lifecycle marketer
★★★★☆
The five verdicts are the point. Risky and Disposable get different treatment in our flows instead of both being thrown away.
MV
Marek Varga
CEO
★★★★★
Credits do not expire and the owner controls exports. That was the whole procurement conversation, finished in one call.
