New features
Consumer v Business Domain detection: Additional column added to the end of the output file. Where possible, we will label a validated email address as either Consumer, or Business, based on Experian's historical information on this domain, allowing you to tailor your email campaigns and target specific sectors.
Support for Internationalised Emails: We have implemented brand new technology that will allow you to validate email addresses from domains that support the use of international characters (e.g. á, é or ø), enabling a global outreach and greater coverage.
Did_You_Mean replaces Corrections: To ensure clarity, and remain compliant, we have renamed Corrections to Did_You_Mean so that clients who are restricted from using email corrections can utilize the domain suggestion functionality for typos and misspellings.
