## Email Status Field

The `status` field in Tomba's email verification response indicates the deliverability and quality of the provided email address. It can take one of the following **six possible values**:

### Possible Status Values

| Status       | Description                                                               |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `valid`      | The email address is valid and deliverable.                               |
| `invalid`    | The email address is not valid or does not exist.                         |
| `accept_all` | The domain accepts all email addresses regardless of their validity.      |
| `webmail`    | The email address is from a public email provider (e.g., Gmail, Outlook). |
| `disposable` | The email is from a temporary/disposable service (e.g., Mailinator).      |
| `unknown`    | Tomba could not verify the email address due to a technical issue.        |

---

### Notes

- **`accept_all` domains** may give false positives. Use the `score` and other signals to decide confidence.
- **`unknown`** status may be caused by SMTP timeouts, greylisting, or temporary blocks.
- The `status` value is always returned along with `result`, `score`, and `smtp_check` for more context.

## Email Result Field

The `result` field summarizes the overall outcome of the email verification check. It is based on factors such as syntax, MX records, SMTP checks, and domain behavior.

### Possible Result Values

| Result          | Description                                                                                                    |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `deliverable`   | The email address is valid and deliverable.                                                                    |
| `undeliverable` | The email address is not valid and cannot be delivered to.                                                     |
| `risky`         | The verification could not be fully confirmed, often due to catch-all domains, greylisting, or timeout issues. |

---

### Notes

- **`deliverable`** means the address is safe to send emails to.
- **`undeliverable`** suggests the address is invalid or the server rejected it.
- **`risky`** requires caution. Combine it with `score` and `accept_all` for a more accurate decision.
