550 5.1.2Domain not found

what to do
Suppress the address

The domain itself does not accept mail. Every address at it is undeliverable, not just this one.

What the server is telling you

There is no MX record and no usable A record fallback for the domain. Often a typo in the domain, an expired registration, or a domain that was never configured for email.

Next steps

Commonly returned by: Everything

Find these before you send, not after

Paste a list and see which addresses sit on domains that accept no mail, which are one character from a real inbox, and which are on catch-all domains where nothing can tell you anything. Free, no signup, nothing stored.
