After an email address has been analyzed, AccuValid appends a result code that will appear on the output file you receive.
The codes that are appended to your list provide comprehensive yet understandable insight about each email address. Use this to make informed decisions about deploying to the respective addresses.

No, if you do not wish to have duplicate email addresses validated, please dedupe your file before uploading.
