I'd appreciate if you didn't consider Firefox Relay emails as disposable email. The Firefox folks specifically have tried to make Relay anti-abuse. It's an unkind thing to do to your prospective users. From Bleeping computer's coverage the last time someone tried to dump Relay in with a disposable email blocklist: > Back in November 2021, Firefox Relay's team lead had requested the maintainer of a separate burner email list, "burner-email-providers" to exempt the particular domain form the blocklist: > "We are operating Relay with a number of features that I think mitigate the risks that these aliases pose," Mozilla's privacy and security engineer Luke Crouch explained in November. > Firstly, if a @mozmail.com alias is disabled by the user, any emails sent to the alias are not bounced back but instead discarded with a 404 error message returned by the service's HTTP webook, stated Crouch. Secondly, he explained, the anti-abuse protections built into Relay limit free users to a total of five aliases, and further rate-limit premium customers so they cannot abuse the service by creating large-scale throw-away aliases for, say, automated signups to web services. > With that reasoning, mozmail.com was swiftly removed from that blocklist. And it appears, the creators of "disposable-email-domains" have also honored the clause, for now.

  I am sorry but I am confused. To whom exactly are you talking to?

  Oh sorry, that's a toggle in Clerk (our auth provider), it doesn't provide granularity around which are disposable and which aren't. I'll take a look and see whether there's anything I can do short of turning off that feature.

    Thank you! Appreciate the transparency. It's helpful to know it originates elsewhere.
