    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

    This happens when the validation tool says the email is invalid and the next provider is trying to find a new one, but if it finds the same one it won't try to validate it again and may result in no final output. Let me know if you still have any questions though!By the way, we automatically hide the validation columns to help keep the table clean and it may be why it's not evident at first.

    so does that mean the emails presented by the providers are not valid in the sense they are 100% not going to work

    There's a few reasons they may not be 100% valid (Like being a catch all). But in general if an email isn't valid we exclude it to preserve your domain health/sending
