Cleanmails

The self-hosted email cleaner that saves you thousands and keeps your data 100% private, One-Time price.

Cleanmails  - Self-host bulk email validation | Product Hunt
Get Lifetime Access β€” $149 $249

Instant Download. Lifetime updates via mail. Unlimited usage.

πŸ”’ Your data stays on your machine. No third-party sharing.

Every email list decays. But paying "API Taxes" of $0.008 per email to clean them is a rip-off. Invalid addresses cause bounces that damage your sender reputation and land your emails in the spam folder.

Cleanmails is a lightweight, self-hosted script designed to give you full control. We eliminate risky and undeliverable emails in two powerful phasesβ€”improving your deliverability and protecting your inbox placement.

Phase 1: Basic Cleaning works entirely on your local environment to filter out obvious junk. For 100% assured results, Phase 2 (SMTP Validation) performs a deep-level handshake to confirm the inbox truly exists.

πŸ›‘οΈ The 2-Phase Validation Process

Cleanmails verifies every email through a rigorous multi-layered scan split into two distinct operational phases:

PHASE 1

Basic Cleaning (Works Offline)

1. Mistake & Typo Filter

Instantly catches typos like "gmal.com" or "yhaoo.com". We ensure every email structure is perfect.

2. Static Domain Check

Cross-references against our internal database of 123k+ disposable domains and 4k+ free providers.

3. "Burner" Email Detection

Identifies temporary/disposable providers used for fraud or "one-time" signups.

4. Risky Role Filtering

Flags support@, info@, or admin@ to help you target actual decision-makers.

PHASE 2

SMTP Validation (100% Assured)

5. MX & DNS Intelligence

Real-time lookup of mail exchange records to verify if a domain can actually receive mail.

6. Real-time Handshake

Connects directly to the recipient's mail server to verify the inbox exists without sending an email.

7. Bot & Robot Analyzer

Advanced signal verification to distinguish machine-generated addresses from real humans.

8. RFC Compliance

100% compliance with RFC 5322 standards for industry-standard validation accuracy.

The Traditional Trap vs. Cleanmails

Save Thousands on Credits

Zerobounce charges ~$0.008 per email. Neverbounce is ~$0.007. Cleanmails is unlimited for life for a one-time $149 fee. You save money from the first list you clean.

True Data Privacy

Traditional tools require you to upload your sensitive customer lists to their servers. With Cleanmails, your data never leaves your machine. Total privacy, total control.

No Monthly "Rent"

Buy the code, own the code. Get the full source code instantly after purchase. No subscription to manage, no "billing cycles" to worry about.

Professional Deliverability

Our deep 8-step scan matches the quality of paid APIs. Protect your domain reputation and ensure your outreach actually lands in the inbox, not the junk folder.

Advanced Use Cases

Cleanmails isn't just a script; it's a foundation for your entire email infrastructure.

FAQ

Is this as accurate as paid APIs?

Yes. We use the same industry-standard signal checks (Syntax, DNS, MX Record deep-scans) that high-priced services use. The only difference is that you run the script yourself instead of paying them a markup.

Can I use this on lists of 100k+?

Absolutely. There are no artificial limits. You can process lists of any size. For extremely large lists, running locally on a powerful machine is recommended for maximum speed.

I'm not "technical"β€”can I use this?

Yes! We provide single-click deployment options and if you prefer a hands-off approach, we offer a Managed Setup service where our experts handle everything for you. You don't need to write a single line of code to get a powerful email cleaner live.

What do I get after purchasing?

You get instant automated access to our private GitHub repository containing the full source code, lifetime updates, and documentation. Everything you need to start cleaning today.
