Block Survey has added an open source email bounce checker to its suite of SaaS tools. This free-to-use facility allows users to check if an email address is valid or not.
Most businesses, bloggers, vloggers & other types of digital creators need to connect to their audiences via email. This communication usually takes the form of a regular newsletter or a promotion-based email announcement.
Growing an email list is considered one of the best ways to engage with clients or leads, & anything that affects email deliverability negatively is really bad for business. A high bounce rate is one of the things that can potentially cause a sender’s address to accrue a bad reputation, which may result in emails ending up in spam folders or not being delivered at all.
Email Service Providers (ESPs) assign a “sender-score” to their users. If this score is low they could assign emails from the sender’s address to the spam folder, which would, obviously, negatively affect any of the sender’s campaigns. So, a tool like the one now on offer from Block Survey is really useful because users can check the validity of email addresses on their lists before they sending them, thus eliminating “bounce-email” addresses & protecting their reputation.
The new email bounce checking tool provided by Block Survey is very easy to use. Users do not need to sign up for an account or provide any contact info to use it. The tool allows people to check 10 email addresses at a time. A report is generated for the list of email addresses provided & includes information such as if the address is a hard-bounce (does not exist), soft-bounce (could be full or temporarily unavailable) or a no-bounce (valid usable address).
Block Survey promises that they are not offering the tool as a Honey-Pot (email collection tool) & that the tool is totally privacy centric in that they don’t keep any records of the addresses checked by their users.
