    Yeah. Definitely needs the form makers to implement it on their side.

      I meant you wouldn’t want to do that in this use case. We can’t wait to verify an email at this step. There are plenty of things that could be implemented, if we knew about this workflow.

        Yeah, in your case, the most I see could be done, is to remove the address that gives an unreachable response and add it to a list which can be referred to, right before a mail to the next record’s address is sent (to not retry duplicates).

        Or maybe use some AI mumbo-jumbo to determine availability.

        Of course, I can also think of using DNS records to precheck if the domain name exists, but I would think they would mostly be parked domains anyway, so maybe not.

          I don’t even know what they ended up doing, not my department. They did come to us though as we were the ones sending out the emails though.
