Show HN: Free API to block disposable emails
- tompec 9y agoHi there, for different projects, I had to prevent users to register with disposable emails. So in order to have a centralised domain list, always up to date, I made a small API. I maintain the list of disposable domains myself by doing monitoring and using custom crawlers. Feedbacks appreciated :)
- jpl56 9y agoWhat guarantees you won't sell emails you collect ?
- tompec 9y agoIf you don't trust me, you can use the domain method. This way you don't send the email, but only the domain :)
- TekMol 9y agoI hate it, when sites make me register. I hate it even more when they refuse a mailinator address. Because then I have to use a throwaway yahoo/live/gmail whatever address and its yet another step to log into that one to get the activation link. What is an example of a site that needs to refuse users that use mailinator and co?
- tompec 9y agoEvery time you give something for free after a user registers.
- wand3r 9y agoOther than "the service" which often relies on users as much as users rely on it; what are you talking about specifically?
- MichaelBurge 9y agoIf people buy things on your site, you don't want them to get locked out because they forgot their email or use a shared email address.
- karthik248 9y agoInteresting API, but this will probably end up as one of those "It helps" things.
