The mailbox does not exist, is disposable, or will hard-bounce. Remove it to protect your sender reputation.
The server is catch-all or greylisting, so existence cannot be confirmed. Send selectively and watch engagement.

Each address runs through 30+ checks including SMTP existence, catch-all detection, role-account filtering, and disposable matching. The same engine has verified billions of addresses since 2012.
