# `delivered_recently`: your own delivery report confirmed this mailbox

Not a probe result: your account reported the address as delivered within the last 90 days, and a real delivery is better evidence than any handshake.

- Appears in: `smtp_reason`
- Billing: 1 credit as a deliverable answer; the handshake itself is skipped.

When you send delivery outcomes through the feedback endpoint or an ESP webhook, a delivered report for an address turns later lookups of it into confirmed mailboxes. The probe is skipped, mailbox_exists is true, smtp_checked_at is the delivery time, and the sources list delivery-feedback instead of the SMTP handshake.

Only your own account's reports count. Other customers' outcomes are never used for your verdicts.

**What to do.** Nothing. Keep reporting outcomes and the share of lookups that needs a paid probe keeps falling.

```json

    "deliverable": "deliverable",
