As we cover in other docs, Trykitt.ai does verification using multiple signals to deliver more accurate results at a lower price point.
One such signal is detecting aliases/forwarding addresses -- when someone leaves a company or a shared email alias like [email protected]. By default, the system treats forwarding emails as 'invalid' because mailing these addresses usually results in getting 'spam' listed.
However, there are some valid use cases for considering these addresses as valid -- for those who want it, we offer the ability to customize this feature
Using The Feature
API: for the /verify_email endpoint, set the treatAliasesAsValid parameter to true. More information on this can be found in the API docs.
Single Search/CSV Upload: simply check the titled "Treat Aliases as Valid" when submitting the verification job.
Email Statuses
When using this feature, outcomes are largely unchanged - the only difference will be that forwarding addresses will return a validSMTP status and the overall validity of the email will be determined as valid/invalid based on this flag.
Cost
When this feature is active, it will incur a 25% surcharge on the request at your current pricing level ONLY when the email is identified as a potential forwarding address.
