What does catch-all mean in a result?
The mail server for that domain says yes to every recipient, whether or not the mailbox exists. ValidReach reports the address as catchall because it cannot tell if this particular person is there.

Billing
A catchall result costs 1 credit.
What to do
Segment catchall addresses and send to them at lower volume first. If a catchall address bounces later, suppress it, and consider treating the whole domain with more care.
How to improve confidence
An address you saw on the company’s own site is more trustworthy than one guessed from a name pattern. Keep a how_found column so you can tell them apart.
Good to know
Catchall is a property of the domain, not a verdict on the person. Some large organisations use it deliberately.
