Fraudsters commonly use free disposable email services (temporary email addresses) to gain something of value such as account access, free trials, downloads, and other premium features, content, & services. These emails provide zero value in return since disposable email addresses are often deleted and never used again. Disposable emails are also frequently used to create duplicate accounts, engage in credit card fraud, and take advantage of free services. If your site is suffering from abusive behavior then blocking disposable emails is a crucial step to eliminate fraud.
IPQS email address verification API service provides confirmation that the email address does not belong to a temporarily or disposable email service in addition to being a valid email. IPQS disposable email blacklists are updated in real-time to provide the most effective service in the industry for stopping temporary email addresses. Ensure your users are signing up with valid emails and instantly increase the value & ROI of your user base, potential leads, email lists, and other data!

IPQS places an emphasis on email address fraud prevention at the core of our email validation service. Even when an email address is valid, there is still a chance the user has intent to engage in abusive behavior. Luckily, IPQS scores hundreds of millions of user events per day across popular sites. This data is used to identify valid email addresses that have recently engaged in fraud, such as using a stolen credit cards or creating fake accounts. All IPQS clients can take advantage of this feature which significantly reduces the chance for abusive users to access your site & negatively impact your business.
Email address verification is not an exact science and it is quite challenging for any email validation service to maintain a high standard of quality in determining if an email address exists. This is due to the popularity of SPAM filters and similar types of email server firewalls that outright block the email verification process for certain mail service providers, making it harder to determine if an email address is valid.
IPQS has developed proprietary methods to support all major mail service providers and many other services that block traditional email verification attempts, which includes analyzing the SMTP server corresponding to the MX records and special relationships with major mail service networks. These unique features are some of the many ways IPQS can verify email addresses with better accuracy than similar email validator services. Our email checker techniques have been fine-tuned over 10+ years of enhancing sender reputation for 3500+ clients.
IPQS can improve email deliverability across any mail service provider while minimizing the bounce rate. Our team has 24/7 monitoring in place to detect any anomalies with data quality or connecting to a SMTP server. High bounce rates especially hard bounces or bad email data can be a nightmare for any email marketing team, so IPQS places an emphasis on providing the best email verifier data in the industry. This is achieved through proprietary techniques gained from over 10 years of email checker technology that IPQS uses when verifying MX records and connecting to an STMP server to check emails.

Take email validation to the next level with email fraud scoring. Track abusive emails, compromised mail servers, and stolen identities online with real-time blacklists that quickly detect new threats. Most disposable email address detection providers use stale blacklists that are not able to keep up with the newest disposable email services and the domains they add weekly to bypass filters. IPQS blacklists are updated in real-time to ensure that the newest disposable email services are immediately blacklisted to prevent duplicate & fake accounts, user generated SPAM, abusive users, as well as other fraudulent activity associated with temporary emails.
Lookup the email age date for any email address to determine an estimate of when the account was first created. Detecting email age is an important data point from our email verifier software which can enhance email reputation and improve hit rates for fake or risky users with suspicious emails. Since fraudsters typically cycle through new domains very quickly, the API also includes the email's domain age, making it easy to detect new domains created specifically for hosting abusive email addresses. This value is listed on all email validation API responses as the "First Seen" date.
Cleanse your bulk email lists from bounces to improve your sender reputation score and avoid email deliverability issues. Using our bulk email verification service, your marketing lists can be uploaded and immediately processed. Easily download all clean emails or suppress your email list for accounts with poor reputation scores. Bulk email validation is great for verifying your existing lists and older user data. We recommend using our email validation API to screen all new email addresses before they are added to your lists.
IPQS email reputation scoring also includes detection for emails reported as a honeypot or spam trap. These email addresses are incredibly stealthy and directly impact your sender score and inboxing rates. Detection for frequent complainers also makes it easy to avoid email addresses that are likely to unsubscribe or report your message as SPAM. We recommend avoiding these emails when performing mass mailing and newsletter marketing as they may cause your IP address or domain to be blacklisted by certain mail providers and ISPs.
Email address lookups through our email verifier service also include forensic details such as analyzing the mail server, extracting the owner's name, detecting if the email belongs to a popular mail service like gmail.com, and checking for role-based accounts such as "sales@", "hello@", "support@", etc. This additional information from our email validator along 20+ other data points are available to customize the email validation process for your exact requirements. For example, it would be easy to determine if an email address was from a personal account like gmail.com, hotmail.com, etc. or if the email belongs to a business or company.
