Supported domains: @gmx.de, @gmx.net, @gmx.at, @gmx.ch, @web.de & @t-online.de
| SMTP Code / Response | KaijuVerifier Verdict | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 250 Requested mail action okay, completed | Valid DACH Mailbox | The GMX, Web.de, or T-Online inbox exists and is actively accepting messages. |
| 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable | Non-Existent / Deleted | The account does not exist or has been deactivated after prolonged inactivity. |
| 552 Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full) | Web.de / GMX Storage Full | Free @web.de accounts have strict storage limits and frequently bounce with 552 Quota Exceeded. |
| 554 Transaction failed / Bad DNS PTR | Strict rDNS Policy | United Internet and Telekom require RFC-compliant reverse DNS (FCrDNS); handled natively by KaijuVerifier's EU SMTP nodes. |
In Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, over 50% of consumer inboxes run on United Internet (`emig.gmx.net` / `web.de`). Sending to unverified @gmx.de or @web.de addresses immediately triggers network-wide Postmaster blocks.
Legacy free @web.de accounts have historically tight storage quotas. KaijuVerifier distinguishes between permanently deleted accounts (550) and full mailboxes (552) so you can protect your DACH sender score.
Deutsche Telekom (`t-online.de`) enforces some of Europe's strictest FCrDNS and HELO checks. Our verification nodes maintain clean PTR alignment to verify @t-online.de leads accurately.
Together, Web.de, GMX, and T-Online represent more than 60% of all consumer email addresses in Germany (ahead of Gmail). However, United Internet and Deutsche Telekom penalize senders harshly if hard bounce rates exceed 1.5%.
Yes. KaijuVerifier processes email verifications in volatile RAM with zero retention on disk, making it fully compliant with EU GDPR (DSGVO) and Swiss revDSG requirements.
