Prospeo is coming back with 'bad request' about 80% of the time and has been happening for nearly 2 months. Any update on fixing this? (Table)

    Based on previous engineering responses. Prospeo is unable to check the MX records for some of those domains so it just errors out. That's something specific they havehttps://prospeo.io/api/email-finder#::~~::text=The%20domain%20name%20you%20submitted%20is%20not%20reachable%20or%20does%20not%20have%20valid%20MX%20records

    Hi Owen L., working on updating the error messaging here so the exact error is clearer

    Thanks for the updates Juan P. & Keethu R. - In the table above I had the error coming back for 80 - 90% of the rows, is that common?

    I think it really depends on your data but sometimes it is possible - with the update though, you'll be able to see what the exact error is and sometimes it's an input issue that you can tweak so that may help! The error update is live but you'll have to add new Prospeo columns to see those changes

    Thanks for updating that Keethu R.. That makes sense regarding the data quality and the inputs.
