Disposable email checker

Disposable (temporary) email services give out inboxes that vanish after minutes or hours. People use them to dodge sign-up forms, trials and newsletters. Addresses on these domains rarely become customers and often bounce soon after.

When to use it

• You see a suspicious sign-up and want a quick check of the domain.
• You want to know whether a domain belongs to a well-known throwaway provider.
• You are deciding whether to block such addresses on your form.

How to read the result

• "Disposable" means the domain is on our list of common throwaway providers.
• "Not listed" does not prove the address is good: new disposable services appear all the time.
• For a full answer on a specific mailbox, use email verification, which also checks the domain and the mailbox.

Frequently asked questions

Should I block disposable emails at sign-up?

For trials and free tiers, yes. They are rarely real customers. For newsletters, a confirmation email is a fair alternative.

Is the list complete?

No. It covers well-known providers. A verification service keeps a much larger and constantly updated database.

Are aliases such as Gmail plus addresses disposable?

No. They are real mailboxes and valid, just with a tag after the plus sign.
