Find and verify any email address with live SMTP and catch-all detection.
Last updated October 3, 2026

VeriMails is an email verification platform that combines real-time SMTP handshake verification with catch-all detection to tell you exactly which emails are safe to send before you hit send — protecting your sender reputation and keeping your bounce rate under control.
The core value proposition is simple: accurate email verification at a price that makes the economics work. At 19 per 10,000 credits, VeriMails costs a fraction of what ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, and similar tools charge — with catch-all detection that customers report is actually better.
VeriMails works three ways: a single email verifier you can use without an account, a bulk CSV uploader for list cleaning at any scale, and a REST API for real-time verification inside your own product, CRM, or workflow automation. Credits never expire and there is no subscription required.
Step 1 — Verify VeriMails runs a real-time SMTP handshake with the mail server and combines it with catch-all detection. Every email comes back with a status, a safe-to-send flag, and a confidence score.
Step 2 — Process Upload a CSV of any size. VeriMails processes it with real-time progress tracking and returns a clean, downloadable list with every address categorised as valid, invalid, risky, catch-all, or disposable.
Step 3 — Integrate Use the REST API to verify emails in real time from your app, CRM, or workflow automation. Sub-2 second response times. Simple JSON response.

| Catch-All | Domain accepts all emails — individual address unconfirmable |
| Disposable | Temporary email address — remove from list |

How does VeriMails verify email addresses?
VeriMails runs a real-time SMTP handshake with the recipient mail server — it does not rely on a cached database. It also runs catch-all detection on every verification to identify domains that accept all emails regardless of whether the address exists.
What does “safe to send” mean?
Safe to send means the email address passed SMTP verification and is unlikely to bounce. Every verification returns a safe-to-send flag alongside a confidence score from 0 to 100.
Do credits expire?
No. VeriMails credits never expire. Buy them when you need them and use them at your own pace.
How fast is verification?
Single email verifications via the API return results in under 2 seconds. Bulk CSV processing speed depends on list size.
What file formats does bulk upload support?
CSV files of any size. Results are downloadable as CSV with status and score for every address.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. Every new account gets 100 free verification credits with no credit card required. Single email verification is also available without an account.
What happens with Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo addresses?
These providers use privacy protections that limit SMTP verification. VeriMails handles these addresses specifically — check the documentation for details on how results are returned for major provider addresses.
