Email Validation Settings

Setting Name
Description
Use Email Validation Checks an email address for validity at the requested level.
Email Validation Level

The level of validation to apply to email fields.

Syntax. The supplied email is checked to ensure that it meets the standard email address format. This is the quickest option and would reject such incorrect email addresses as "noone@nowhere" and "N/A", but would accept incorrect email addresses that are correctly formed but that do not include a valid domain name such as "noone@data-9.com"

MX. The supplied email is checked to ensure that the domain name (the part to the right of the @ sign) exists and is set up to receive email.
This is still normally very quick, but can take a few seconds in some cases. This check would reject incorrectly formatted email addresses in the same way as the Syntax check, and would also reject a misspelled domain name such as "noone@data-9.com". It can also detect when a domain name exists but does not handle email, such as "noone@example.com".

It does not verify that the part of the email address to the left of the @ sign exists.

Server. In addition to the MX level checks, validates that at least one of the mail servers advertised for the domain is actually live.

Address. In addition to the Server level checks, validates that the mail server accepts mail for the full email address.
Email Validation Mappings Select which fields to use when performing email validation per object. Create a custom picklist field for the email validation result, which uses the Email Validation Status picklist set. Optionally create a Date/Time field to store the date of last validation check performed on the record.
