Check one address
Five checks a minute, no account needed. Nothing is sent to the address — we ask its mail server whether the mailbox exists, then disconnect.

By continuing you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy.
The checker opens an SMTP conversation with virginmedia.com's mail server, offers a random address first to rule out a catch-all, then names your address at RCPT TO and disconnects without sending. A rejection comes back invalid ("Mailbox not found") and an acceptance valid ("Mailbox exists"). Temporary replies come back risky. It always checks the syntax, the domain's MX records, disposable domains and role addresses such as info@ first.

What Virgin Media Mail's server says about a missing mailbox
The reply that matters is the one to RCPT TO, the step where the checking server names the recipient. Virgin Media Mail answered our made-up virginmedia.com address with 550 5.1.1 …@virginmedia.com recipient rejected. A 5xx code at that step is a permanent "no such mailbox", which is the same answer a real message would get, so SimpleVerifier marks the address invalid with the reason "Mailbox not found". A 250 at the same step means the mailbox exists and comes back valid.
Before trusting a "valid", a careful verifier also offers a random address that cannot exist. Virgin Media Mail rejected ours, so virginmedia.com is not a catch-all: a 250 for your address is a real signal. Temporary 4xx replies (421, 450, 451) are about the connection, not the mailbox, and come back risky with "Server would not confirm" rather than invalid. Hard bounce vs soft bounce explains why that split matters.
Virgin Media is handing its email to Junara
Virgin Media's closure page says it is handing its email service over to Junara. People who sign up with Junara keep their address and mailbox contents; for everyone else the account is closed and its contents are permanently deleted.
So a virginmedia.com address that verifies today may be closed by the owner's choice not to move. The server rejects unknown users at RCPT TO, which makes a check worth running right before a send; addresses that turn invalid have been closed and should be suppressed.
Cleaning virginmedia.com addresses on a list
Because Virgin Media Mail answers honestly, virginmedia.com is one of the domains where verification removes bounces before they happen. Drop the invalid results, keep the valid ones, and re-check the risky ones later: a temporary reply on one day often turns into a clear answer the next.
A valid result only means the mailbox exists today. Addresses on an old consumer list go stale as people stop using them, so re-verify before each large send to an aged segment; how often to verify an email list gives a schedule. Upload the CSV to the verifier and download the valid, risky and invalid rows as separate files.

- Why did a virginmedia.com address come back risky instead of invalid?
- Risky means the server didn't give a permanent answer during the check, usually a temporary 4xx reply or a timeout. It isn't proof the address is bad. Check it again later; Virgin Media Mail gave a clear rejection for a missing mailbox when we tested it.
