Mail servers for cox.net
DNS lists 3 mail hosts for cox.net, starting with mta6.am0.yahoodns.net. Lower priority values are tried first; the rest exist for failover.
Who runs the mail
The hosts match the pattern of Yahoo Mail. Yahoo's servers (shared by Yahoo Mail and AOL) are conservative with handshake replies and often defer or greylist probes, so a mailbox check can come back unverified even for a real inbox. Spaw re-checks those addresses when you pass a callback.
What this means for verification
For cox.net, 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.
