FAQ
Email Permutator questions.
What is an email permutator?
A tool that builds every common email format from a person's name and company domain, such as john@, john.smith@ and jsmith@. It gives you candidates to verify when you only know someone's name.
How do I find which address is real?
The tool checks the domain's MX records, which confirms the domain accepts email. To test a single address, use an email verifier. No verifier can confirm addresses on a catch-all domain. Verifying first protects your sender reputation and avoids bouncing cold outreach.
Why does this help link building?
Outreach is how guest posts, resource-page links and digital PR get placed. Reaching the right person by email is the first step, and often you only have a name and a company to work from.
Is this compliant with privacy rules?
Patterns are generated in your browser. Only the domain is sent to our server for the mail-server (MX) check, never names. How you contact people is your responsibility: follow anti-spam laws like CAN-SPAM and GDPR and always offer an opt-out.
