Any useful disposable email service will only allow *receiving* emails. As a user this protects me against possible bad actors that for some reason need me to give out my email to them.
Any service allowing *sending out* mail from their mailservers will quickly find their mailservers blocked - this is also list based. A common one being spamhaus.org .
The way firefox relay solves this is by only allowing to *reply* to mails you have received, and I assume they have some rate-limiting in place as well.
This is really just about making life harder, and forcing people into using an emailaddress as their identity token, which seems all sort of wrong.
Next someone will block mailservices that allow + adressing or other kinds of alias systems ?
- chii 5y ago> It just seems to be about being explicitly hostile towards users. it is. The idea is to prevent users from being able to sign up anonymously, and try a service risk-free. It ensures that a user has something to lose by trying a service (aka, their real email address), in the hopes that said user would not abuse the free-trial, and also to allow the service to send marketing reminders on paying. I have made it my policy to not sign up to any service that require an email address, if that service does not accept a disposable email address, nor will i pay for such a service.
