Hey Hi everyone, I’m trying to validate my emails through Instantly and I wanted to double-check with another provider such as Findymail. Do you have any idea why Instantly gives such different results? Or is “catch all” meaning that I can actually send them emails?
Findymail can validate catch all emails and I think instantly can't thats the difference
Hey Andrea, invalid->catch-all means they've been unable to validate them so they consider them risky by default (playing it safe basically). It's not a real invalid, it's more a "I don't know" If Findymail was able to validate them, they should be fine to use 👍
thanks guys

Hey Andrea, thanks for reaching out! That is accurate. We typically recommend avoiding catch-all emails because the validation provider can't be sure if the specific email address is valid, making it harder to verify contacts, which can lead to a higher bounce rate and potentially hurt your sender reputation score.
