Is there a way to have email waterfall to include valid_catch_all emails and not catch_all? The "safe to send" option takes out valid_catch_all right now

    Currently, our email waterfall doesn't have a built-in option to include valid_catch_all emails while excluding catch_all emails. The "Only mark 'Safe to Send' emails as valid" option excludes both catch-all and valid_catch_all emails. However, you can achieve this by customizing your approach: 1. Run the email waterfall without the "Safe to Send" option. 2. Use a separate email validation step (like LeadMagic or ZeroBounce) to filter the results. 3. Keep emails marked as "valid" or "valid_catch_all" and exclude those marked as "catch_all". This method allows you to fine-tune your email validation process according to your specific needs. Is there a particular reason you want to include valid_catch_all emails in your results?

    yes i want to use the emails that are valid_catch_all but not general catch_all emails as vendors've put resources into the validation so I believe there's value to it and it would reach the contact
