How BounceBan and Scrubby handle catch-all
BounceBan resolves catch-all addresses at a flat 1 credit, and names Mimecast, Proofpoint and Barracuda. Scrubby resolves catch-all through a deep check at 3 credits per address. Catch-all domains accept mail for every name, so a normal check cannot tell a real mailbox from a dead one, and this is usually where a list quietly loses good contacts.
How Giggal.ai handles catch-all. Giggal.ai resolves catch-all addresses to a real deliverable or undeliverable result at 1.5 credits in a run, or 2 standalone.
