Guide Review - Advanced Maillist Verify 4.25 - List Hygiene Tool
A mailing list with 24,000 subscribers sounds impressive, doesn't it? But subtract 5,000 misspelled addresses, 7,000 unknown addresses and 3,000 whose mailbox is full and we're down to 9,000 subscribers that do actually get the message.

Does that sound unrealistic? Try it yourself. Advanced Maillist Verify will clean your list of invalid addresses. It can remove the obvious misspellings and unknown domain names, but it will also rid your list of email addresses that do not exist.

To verify an address, AMV tries to send a message to it, but stops right before delivery. The result is time- and bandwidth-consuming, but also very accurate. About the only source of error are servers that accept emails without prior address verification.
