Before launching your campaigns, please make sure that all the leads have been verified as a high bounce rate may have a negative impact on your sender's reputation.
The email gets hard bounced and fails to get delivered permanently if it has been sent to a non-existent address. All these addresses should be removed from the list so that your sender's reputation does not get affected due to poor email deliverability.
There are plenty of email verification tools available on the market. In this article, we'll show you how to use Instantly, Bulkemailchecker, and MillionVerifier to verify your leads.
