Where can we get a blocklist of those throwaway email domains? or perhaps a really big whitelist of good ones? that would be extremely helpful!

- pigeons 2y agoI don't see how you could know what everyone's personal domain is to whitelist.
- Etheryte 2y agoNeither is a viable option, otherwise all the big players would've done this a long time ago. Nothing is stopping you from creating a throwaway account on Gmail while someone using a custom domain might be your new B2B lead. There's no realistic way to tell which it is simply from the domain.
- DecentShoes 2y agoI think they were referring to actual throwaway email providers. Companies that specifically provide that as a service.
- thecodemonkey 2y agoThere's a couple of great open source projects[1][2][3] that try to keep up-to-date lists of domains that belong to disposable email providers. I would probably not recommend implementing a whitelist for blocking purposes. But perhaps domains on a whitelist could get a slight scoring bump.

- compootr 2y agoAs for abuse, I made myself a tool to give myself quintillions of email addresses (not using plus addressing) on gmail.com I use this to sign up for a service with a unique email that is basically my junk box, but the email is its own unique entry in my password manager
