FAQ — Disposable Email Detection & API Usage

Find answers about detecting fake emails, blocking temp mail services, preventing referral and promo fraud, and using the TempMailChecker API in signup or checkout flows. Less spam, fewer fake users, stronger conversions.

What are disposable email addresses?

+
Disposable email addresses are temporary inboxes that self-destruct after a short period. Services like Mailinator, Guerrilla Mail, and 10MinuteMail let users create instant throwaway emails without registration. They're designed for one-time use and typically expire within minutes to hours.

Why block disposable email?

+
Disposable emails are commonly used for spam, fraud, and abuse. They allow users to bypass email verification, exploit free trials repeatedly, create fake accounts, and avoid accountability. Blocking them protects your platform from bots and ensures you're collecting real, contactable users.

Why do people use disposable email?

+
Legitimate uses include protecting privacy from spam, signing up for one-time downloads, or testing services. However, they're frequently abused for referral fraud, coupon stacking, creating fake reviews, trolling in communities, and evading bans. Our API helps you distinguish between these use cases.

How does TempMailChecker block temporary email?

+
We maintain a continuously updated database of 277,000+ known disposable email domains. Our API performs an instant lookup against this list and returns a simple true/false response. With sub-millisecond processing and endpoints in the US, EU, and Asia, you get ~70ms real-world latency wherever your users are.

Where do I report a domain to be blocked?

+
Found a disposable email domain we're missing? Email us at report@tempmailchecker.com with the domain name and we'll review it for inclusion. We typically add verified domains within 24 hours.

How can I get a domain unblocked?

+
If your legitimate domain has been incorrectly flagged, contact us at support@tempmailchecker.com with proof of ownership and your use case. We manually review all unblock requests and respond within 48 hours.
