# `likely_typo`: the domain is a known typo-squat of a major provider

The domain is on the curated map of misspellings that resolve and run catch-alls to harvest misdirected mail, and did_you_mean carries the intended address.

- Weight: +60
- Dataset: typo-domains
- Read from: `did_you_mean`
- Verdict reasons it comes with: `likely_typo`

gmial.com and its kind are real domains that accept every address, so a mail-server check cannot catch them; the curated typo-domain map does, and the correction is offered even though the domain resolves. Nothing is probed.

It reads from did_you_mean and comes with the likely_typo verdict reason, which outranks disposable because the correction is the more useful explanation.

**What to do.** Show the suggested address and ask the user to confirm it; never send to the one that was typed.
