Five states. No bare score.
Dig is not open yet. It is being built to give every address one of five states. Each is shown as a word, a shape and a colour together, so it reads correctly from its word alone.
The mailbox said yes.
A check confirmed that the mailbox accepts mail.
Sends by default
Fits the pattern. Not confirmed.
It could not be confirmed, but it fits. A server that accepts any address gives Likely, never Verified.
Only if you allow it
A known reason for caution.
There is a known reason for caution, such as a full mailbox or a shared inbox.

How a check runs
Dig tries a pattern guess, runs a catch-all test against the mail server, then checks the address itself, with a second method if the first cannot answer.

- Pattern guess
- Passed: first.last matches the company's known pattern
- Catch-all test
- Passed: the server rejects a made-up address, so it is not catch-all
- Mailbox check
- Passed: the server confirmed the mailbox accepts mail, checked 6 Nov 2026
Fresh beats stored
An address older than 3 days is checked again before a first email, and again after 7 days before a follow-up. That check is priced and shown like any other. If the check changes an address, the step is held for you to look at, not sent.
We will publish an accuracy test on the same 1,000 contacts, with the method and the results.
