Best FREE/Paid email list cleaning solution

armandorg

As topic says, i need to clean a database of emails that might have errors or the same email twice. It's kinda a large database and cannot be worked out manually by checking.

Any tool/platform that checks email typed correctly/removes dubs.. etc? Free one for example?

hzr

cat | sort | uniq

^ after that

You can use regex with a for loop maybe or a small python script to check if it's a correct address

Shove it all into a JS set and save it into a file. Or, regex and bash wizardry (@hzr's solution +1)

or "sort -u"

You can also use exim to test email addresses for deliverability, as the following commands showed:

$ /usr/exim/bin/exim -bt "[email protected]"                 
[email protected] is undeliverable
$ /usr/exim/bin/exim -bt "[email protected]"   
[email protected]
  router = dnslookup, transport = remote_smtp
  host aspmx.l.google.com      [74.125.203.26] MX=1
  host alt1.aspmx.l.google.com [108.177.8.26]  MX=5
  host alt2.aspmx.l.google.com [74.125.129.26] MX=5
  host alt4.aspmx.l.google.com [142.250.96.26] MX=10
  host alt3.aspmx.l.google.com [142.250.10.26] MX=10

Return code 0 is given only when all addresses succeed. The script below prints only deliverable email addresses (input data are one email address per line):

while read EM; do
/usr/exim/bin/exim -bt "$EM" > /dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then echo "$EM"; fi
done

nice troll guys. On a serious note, mailchimp or any other legal SPAM distribution facilitator have more than you need tools to control any mailing address list. The more you pay - the more you get. So find most expensive and enjoy.

Personally for me cat list.txt | sort -u

We use combination on ZeroBounce and Debounce... nothing works 100% but still I Can say 85% accuracy is good to clean un-deliverable email IDs.

Implimented Debounce API to check email deliverablity on the fly on new sign up attempts, this helps keep keep off signups using un-deliverable email IDs clean.

I use this one https://clearout.io/. I also have used Debounce before, but they don't have a WP plugin so I'm not using it any more.

I guess they didn't have one, but do have now.

I just checked the pricing and debounce's is much more low end friendly
