Verify Anymailfinder Results Before You Send (and Use Its Bounce Credit-Back)

What Anymailfinder says

From Anymailfinder's pricing page, read 8 November 2026:

• "A verified email is one that passes our live checks against the recipient's mail server. We run those checks the moment you search - never from a stored database or cached results. If a search doesn't return a verified email, it's free."
• On catch-alls: "Most tools mark these 'risky' and skip them - we run extra checks to decide whether the address is genuinely valid before calling it verified."
• "97%+ delivery guarantee means at least 97% of the verified emails we return won't bounce."
• "If an email we returned as verified bounces, report it from your dashboard or the API and we'll credit it back after review."
• "Re-running the same search or verification within 30 days is free." New accounts get 100 credits to try.

Do the maths on 97%

If you send 2,000 Anymailfinder emails in a week and 3% bounce, that's 60 hard bounces. Cold email tools pause a campaign or inbox anywhere from about 2% (Woodpecker's default) to 15% (Snov.io), and your domain takes the hit before the pause (bounce rate thresholds by platform). A credit back pays for the lookup. It doesn't undo the bounce. So the goal is to catch bad rows before they're sent, and use the credit-back for the few that slip through.

The pre-send routine

1. Export with the domain column

Export results to CSV with email, name, company and domain. Tag catch-all domains with the bulk catch-all checker. Those rows are your second wave.

2. Dedupe and suppress

Remove repeats with remove duplicate emails. Remove past bounces, unsubscribes and do-not-contact replies with compare email lists.

3. Verify close to the send

If the search was more than a few days ago, re-check on the verify page. Anymailfinder's own re-check is free within 30 days; a second, independent check also tells you which rows two verifiers disagree on (use two email verifiers).

Result	Action
Valid	Main sequence
Risky (catch-all)	Second wave, best grades first
Risky (role, disposable, full)	Drop for outreach
Invalid	Suppress; report to Anymailfinder if it was marked verified
Unknown	Re-check tomorrow

SimpleVerifier reports catch-alls as risky with a grade and the reason, never as valid (catch-all scoring).

4. Send in waves and collect bounces

Valid rows first, catch-alls a day later in a few hundred at most. After each wave, pull the hard bounces out of your sequencer with the bounced email extractor, report the ones Anymailfinder marked verified, and add them all to your suppression list.
