How to verify an email list in bulk (step by step)

A practical guide to cleaning a CSV of email addresses: dedupe, upload, read the results and decide what to send to.

1. Export and dedupe

Export the list from your CRM or ESP as a CSV with one email per row. Remove exact duplicates first — Bytecheck does this automatically and never charges for them.

2. Upload or call the API

Upload the file in the Bulk lists page, or POST up to 50,000 rows to /v1/bulk. You get a job ID and can poll it or receive a signed webhook when it finishes.

3. Read the statuses

Valid: safe to send. Invalid: remove. Risky (catch-all, role-based, disposable): send carefully or segment. Unknown: the server didn't answer — retry later.

4. Act on the results

Suppress invalid addresses in your ESP, keep valid ones, and send to risky segments at low volume first while watching bounce rates. Re-verify lists every 3 months; roughly 2% of business emails go bad each month as people change jobs.
