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?

Run the email waterfall without the "Only mark 'Safe to Send' emails as valid" option. 2. After the waterfall completes, unhide the validation columns in the Columns Panel. 3. Filter your results to 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, including valid_catch_all emails while excluding general catch-all emails.
