What is Catch-All Email (Accept-All)?
A server configuration that accepts any email sent to a domain, even if the specific mailbox does not exist.
Detailed Explanation
A catch-all (or accept-all) domain is configured to ensure no emails are lost, catching typoed addresses. While great for the domain owner, it makes email verification very difficult because the server responds to SMTP checks with a "valid" status for every address queried. Traditional verifiers return "unknown" for these. ZeroBounce AI uses advanced AI algorithms and pattern recognition to assign a confidence score to catch-all addresses, predicting their true validity.
