Hi all,
I am scraping email addresses and have a lot of Yahoo emails on my list. Unfortunately, Yahoo disables a lot of email accounts if they aren't used for 6 months and this is registered as a bounce when an email is sent to that email address. An email verifier API doesn't work on these accounts because they are still registered as existing but are disabled. The only way I've found to detect if they are disabled is to send emails to them and check if a bounce comes back. I really need to clean the list. Does anyone have any recommendations how to do this? I don't even care if the email goes to spam, in fact I would prefer that. I purchased hotmail accounts from someone here and even set up different IPs for each account and tried to send to a Yahoo account using SMTP via that proxy that I knew was disabled and the account ended up getting banned. I need a reliable method to do this. If there is an email sender that isn't as easily banning as well, I would love any suggestions.
