Bulk Virgilio email checker: check a list of virgilio.it addresses at once
In short: Checks many virgilio.it addresses at once: duplicates and +tag repeats flagged, and 10 mailboxes asked live at Virgilio's server. Limit: Italiaonline doesn't publish how its servers answer mailbox checks; the handling here is from our own checks, which can change.
A bulk Virgilio email checker tests many virgilio.it addresses at once. Syntax, duplicates and dead domains are flagged in your browser, then the first 10 are asked live at Virgilio's mail server, which rejected made-up addresses with 550 Invalid Recipient [VIR_520] on 12 October and 8 November 2026. A missing mailbox comes back invalid, a real one valid, an unclear answer risky.

How do I check a whole list of Virgilio addresses?
- Export the list as a CSV or copy the email column; Virgilio rows and every other domain can go in together.
- Upload or paste it at /verify. Every address gets a live mailbox check, and the first 100 email checks are free with a Google sign-in, no card.
How do I check if many Virgilio addresses exist?
- Paste the addresses, one per line, or a CSV column of them. Addresses at other providers are checked as normal addresses and marked.
- Press Check the Virgilio addresses.
- Read the flagged rows: a typo domain, a duplicate, a +tag repeat of an earlier row, or a domain with no mail server.
- Download the clean list. Notes stay on it; only rows that fail a check come off.
- The first 10 go to Virgilio's mail server for a live answer. Sign in with Google to check the rest with 100 free email checks.
Example
- You enter
- 6 addresses:
mario.rossi@virgilio.it,mario.rossi+promo@virgilio.it,Mario.Rossi@virgilio.it, another virgilio.it, a libero.it and a company address. - You get
Mario.Rossi@virgilio.itis marked as a duplicate of row 1 and comes off;mario.rossi+promo@virgilio.itis marked as row 1 plus a +tag and kept; the libero.it and company rows are marked as another provider. The live check asks Virgilio about the Virgilio rows first.- Limits
- The browser pass covers the first 5,000 rows; only domains leave your device. 10 live checks a day without an account, then the free checks with a Google sign-in.
Can you check if virgilio.it addresses exist in bulk?
Yes. Virgilio answered made-up addresses at RCPT TO with 550 Invalid Recipient [VIR_520] on 12 October and again on 8 November 2026, so a result for a Virgilio row comes from Virgilio's own server.
Virgilio and Libero are both Italiaonline webmail services and answered our checks the same way. Lists with libero.it, iol.it or inwind.it rows can go through the bulk Libero checker; a whole list goes through the bulk verifier.
Why do Virgilio addresses go dead?
Virgilio's terms let Italiaonline deactivate a mailbox not accessed for more than 120 days, so new mail stops arriving, and deactivate it permanently after more than 270 days.
A valid result here means the mailbox exists today, so re-check an Italian list every few months rather than once a year.
What does the bulk Virgilio check do to my list?
The pass over the whole list runs in your browser: syntax, duplicates, typo domains and role addresses. Only the unique domains are sent out, to look up mail servers and the disposable list. Rows at virgilio.it are matched by the part after the @, so an address at any other domain is checked as a normal address and marked as another provider.
Then the first 10 addresses, Virgilio rows first, are asked live at the mail server without sending anything. Sign in with Google to check the rest with 100 free email checks. For one address with full notes, use the Virgilio checker.
What does each check catch on a Virgilio list?
| Check | Can we confirm it? | Result when it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax and duplicates | Yes, in your browser | Bad syntax comes off; a duplicate is marked |
| Domain and mail server (MX) | Yes, from DNS | No mail server comes off |
| Disposable or role address | Yes | Disposable comes off; a role address is marked |
| The mailbox exists | Yes: Virgilio answers at RCPT TO (550 Invalid Recipient) | Invalid, "Mailbox not found"; an unclear reply is risky |
| Someone reads the inbox | No checker can | Use opens, replies or a small first send |

What can’t this tool tell you?
- Italiaonline doesn't publish how its servers answer mailbox checks; the handling here is from our own checks, which can change.
- Only virgilio.it counts as a Virgilio row; libero.it rows are checked as normal addresses here.
- A +tag repeat is marked as possibly the same inbox, not merged, because this page doesn't verify how Virgilio treats tags.
- The live check covers 10 addresses without an account; risky results there can mean the check was cut short, so try again later.
- Valid means the mailbox exists today, not that anyone reads it.
Common questions
- What does VIR_520 mean in a Virgilio bounce?
- It is Virgilio's own reference code on a 550 Invalid Recipient rejection, the reply we got for a made-up address. Treat it as a hard bounce and remove the address.
- Does Virgilio deactivate inactive mailboxes?
- Its terms let Italiaonline deactivate a mailbox not accessed for more than 120 days, so new mail stops arriving, and deactivate it permanently after more than 270 days.
- Is there a free bulk Virgilio checker?
- Yes. This page checks a whole list for syntax, duplicates, typo domains and dead domains for free, asks Virgilio's server about 10 mailboxes live, and gives 100 free email checks with a Google sign-in. No card.
- Will the Virgilio users know I checked their address?
- No. The check ends after the mail server answers about the mailbox, before any message content is sent, so nothing arrives in their inbox.
- What happens to the addresses on my list that aren't Virgilio?
- They are checked as normal addresses and marked as another provider. The live check asks about the Virgilio rows first.
Sources
A tidy list can still be full of dead addresses.
Extracting, deduplicating and syntax checks all work on the text of an address. None of them can tell whether the mailbox exists. Only the server that hosts it can answer that, through an SMTP check, and that is what the paid product does.
- Upload the cleaned file as it is: CSVs up to 100,000 rows
- A real SMTP mailbox check on every row, with catch-all detection
- Small list? Starter at $9/mo covers 2,500 emails a month, cancel anytime
Plans from $9 a month, cancel anytime, no contract. Sign in with Google and your first 100 email checks are free, no card. The free tools stay free either way.
