Screen out fake email addresses
Right now the service you offer shows more than 170 email addresses from my domain. All of them are fake and never existed as there are less than 10 real accounts on my domain. These fake accounts push me into the paid subscription level where if it only looked at the real accounts it’d be free. Can this be remedied? Maybe allow marking of real accounts and all others considered fake?

The challenge we have is that there is no viable mechanism to establish whether an account is “real” or not. So long as an address adheres to a valid set of characters and structure, there’s nothing beyond that we can do. To mitigate the risk, breaches flagged as spam lists are excluded from the count used to calculate the required subscriptio.
