Mail servers for about.com
DNS lists 5 mail hosts for about.com, starting with aspmx.l.google.com. Lower priority values are tried first; the rest exist for failover.
Who runs the mail
The hosts match the pattern of Google Workspace / Gmail. Google's servers answer mailbox checks reliably: an address that does not exist is rejected during the SMTP handshake, so verdicts at this domain are usually definitive rather than catch-all.
What this means for verification
For about.com, verification runs the whole pipeline: syntax, live MX, the open lists, and then the SMTP handshake with the mail host, with no message ever transmitted. Each verdict carries a machine-readable reason.
