Understanding Results Codes
BLACKLIST
The IP address associated with the email server is blacklisted and therefore may not be able to send or receive emails.
CATCH_ALL

The email address is a temporary, disposable email address that is often used for spam or fraudulent activities.
INVALID
The email address is disabled or does not exist.
NO_MX_RECORD
The domain associated with the email address does not have any MX (Mail Exchange) records, which means the domain cannot receive emails.
ROLE
The email address is a role-based email address, such as "info@", "support@", etc. These email addresses are often managed by multiple people and may not be the best way to reach a specific individual.
TIMEOUT
The email server did not respond within the allotted time limit for email verification.
UNKNOWN
The verification result is unknown or could not be determined.
VALID
The email address is valid and can receive emails.
