Hello there. I created Clusterman to better manage my server clusters. Currently, it's doing a bunch of tasks for my websites, like auto set up servers, install firewall rules, run git pull on webhook, manage and transfer files, etc.
+1. The WordPress plugin gives a nice warning message with a promise that the website owner won't spam or sell the email address. After all, it's all up to the website owner.
I store and track "disposable email address service provider", so I want to abbreviate that name. Anyway, I removed the "DEA provider" counter and the acronym :-)
Ones can create multiple email addresses, and disposable them in an instant. It's just another disposable email service that is easily abused by spammers.
+1, and it all depends on how the website owners, SaaS providers, etc use it. They may choose to block or let them in with nice notifications message then block later.
Hi Exuma. FYI, I do check custom domain names pointing to disposable email address providers. If you add your own domain name, it will be also blocked.
I created it as a side project to stop fake registrations with disposable email addresses, like emails from mailinator, email-fake.com, temp-mail.org, etc.
It has a public API, no registration required, accepts up to 10 checks per minute. A WordPress plugin and a simple PHP library are also included.
Because some services have sensitive information and need a reliable way to contact you. If you use my service and attach your credit card to pay for it, and used a disposable email to sign up with and your account gets breached, who's fault is it that I couldn't email you and let you know?
Sure if it's some throw away service that doesn't have such sensitive information, that's fine, but there's many reasons to use such a service.
> who's fault is it that I couldn't email you and let you know?
The user's fault; they are knowingly trading that risk for protection of their privacy. That says a lot for how they regard the service in question.
What about rejecting ISP-issued e-mail addresses? Those are also ephemeral, for those who use them.
What about Yahoo! / Outlook.com / Gmail addresses? in the vast majority of cases people using those have no 'hold' on them and their accounts can be suspended at whim.
Domain-related addresses can be lost if the registry decides to hike the domain prices beyond affordability, such as with the 1000% increase in Uniregistry gTLDs later this year.
Where to draw the line? All e-mail addresses are temporary.
That makes sense, thanks. My line of thought was that if someone is using a disposable address they probably aren't going to respond to marketing anyways - they're just checking out your service.
There's a reason I'm using a disposable address for your service. A much better user experience would be for you to allow me the option to try out your service before giving you my email.
Disposable email addresses exists precisely because we don't plan on returning. Some websites tried to block disposable addresses already, I just went somewhere else.
Check it out :-)
