The 3-Step Verification Cadence
Every recruiter search executes protocol-level checks to verify domain infrastructure and mailbox status.
MX Host Resolution
Queries authoritative public DNS nameservers to verify active Mail Exchange (MX) records and ensure the target domain actively receives email.
Direct Mailbox Probe
Executes an SMTP protocol handshake via Abstract API to test mailbox deliverability without sending actual emails or generating spam signals.
Catch-All Detection
Identifies if the enterprise server accepts all incoming email prefixes, labeling confidence accurately and avoiding false-positive assumptions.

The company server accepts incoming emails sent to ANY address @domain.com, so individual mailbox existence cannot be proven in advance.
Why You Can Still Send to Catch-All Domains
Many modern technology companies and staffing agencies configure their Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace mail systems as "Catch-All" so that no prospective client or inbound inquiry is ever dropped.
Go Ahead & Send
Standard recruiter aliases like hr@company.com or careers@company.com land in their gateway and are routinely routed directly to hiring coordinators.
Use Smart Follow-Ups
If you don't receive an initial response after 3–4 days, schedule FetchrLy's Smart 3-Step Follow-Up Sequences to share portfolio links or connect on LinkedIn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Catch-all domain — deliverability unconfirmed" actually mean?
When a company configures their email gateway as "Catch-All", the mail server accepts incoming emails sent to ANY address @domain.com. Because the server responds positively to any mailbox name, automated verification cannot test if a specific recruiter mailbox exists. However, your message will still be delivered to their gateway server. Combining this with automated follow-up sequencing ensures you maximize your reply probability.
Will my email bounce if I send to a catch-all address?
No. Catch-all servers accept the message during the initial SMTP transfer. High-priority addresses like hr@ or careers@ are standard conventions and are almost always routed to hiring teams or applicant tracking systems.
How does FetchrLy protect my Google account and sender score?
By filtering out confirmed-invalid mailboxes and warning you on catch-all domains, FetchrLy prevents high bounce rates. Because you approve every single email draft individually, your Gmail account behaves naturally like a human job seeker. Read our cold outreach guide for deliverability best practices.
What happens if a company uses multiple domain names?
FetchrLy automatically extracts and infers official corporate domains from job postings. If you know the recruiter's exact personal domain or email address, you can also paste it directly into the recruiter email input field. If no valid contacts can be verified, your search credit is refunded automatically per our transparent credit terms.
