G-Lock Email Verifier: Common Errors and Troubleshooting Tips
When you verify email addresses using a direct Internet connection mode or web script, the verification returns the following statuses:
New – status 0
Good – status 1
Bad – status 2
Unknown – status 3
Timeout – status 4
GreyListed – status 5
Each of the statuses is linked to a server response which is shown in the LastResponse column. You can also see the full log of the email address in the Log panel. Select a line with the email address and a full log for this email address is displayed in the Log panel.
List of Common Responses
The following server responses are given when you verify emails using a direct Internet connection mode, web script or socks proxy servers.
If you verify emails through BPSocks email validation API, see the statuses and responses given by the API in this “How to Use Email Validation API” PDF Guide

- 10060: Connection timed out
- Most likely your ISP blocks the port 25 and does not allow you verify emails in the direct connection mode. Click on Settings, then click on the Connection tab in the Settings. Check the "Direct internet connection" option and click Test. If the test fails, you won't be able to use the direct connection mode. Consider using an alternate email verification method, for example, through the web script. If you know that your ISP does not block the port 25 but the direct connection test fails, make sure that you added Advanced E-mail Verifier (the aev.exe file) to the list of allowed programs in your firewall settings.

- 421 4.7.1 Rejected: listed as spam source at ZEN http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=xx.xxx.xx.xxx
- The IP address of the computer where the Advanced Email Verifier is installed is blacklisted. All ISP’s report their dynamic ranges to spamhaus. Anyone using the zen spamhaus list automatically blocks all email from dynamic IP addresses.

- 554 Relaying denied. IP name lookup failed for xx.xxx.xxx.xx
- Your IP address is blacklisted. AEV imitates sending a message from your computer to the recipient's mail server. SMTP servers can have anti-spam filters that refer to DNSBL lists to check the sender's IP address and if the IP address is blacklisted, the email is rejected. If you used the direct connection mode, consider using an alternate email verification method, for example, through the web script or email verification API.
- 550 Dynamic IPs/open relays blocked
- The mail server doesn't accept connections from dynamic IP addresses or open relays. If you used the direct connection mode, consider using an alternate email verification method, for example, through the web script or email verification API.

- Advanced Email Verifier was unable to connect to the recipient's mail server at that time.
1) Re-check the email addresses with this error later.

- The recipient's mail server didn't respond within the specified period of time (Timeout) and the AEV broke the connection to it. Increase the Timeout (Home menu -> Timeout) and verify the address later. If the address is still marked as Timeout, send an email to it. If the email bounces, the address is not valid.
Verification result: GreyListed
- 421 Message from [xx.xxx.xxx.xx] temporarily deferred – 4.16.50
- The recipient’s mail server uses the “greylisting” technology and doesn’t accept the first connection due to security reasons.

- Open the Advanced Email Verifier Settings (General) and check the "Recheck GreyListed emails in one session" option. Or, wait for 5-10 min and re-check GreyListed emails manually (Start -> Verify email addresses -> GreyListed).
