Ask HN: Review quick tool to check if an email is disposable (one time)

5 points by davedd 13y ago ↗ HN

We have been getting quite a few account email spams from disposable address. So we started blacklisting a few of them and came up with a few solutions to detect if an email is disposable (one time).

You can try here: https://gudado.com/tools/freeemail.php

Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

thanks,

Valid link: https://gudado.com/tools/freeemail.php

It also has a simple/open API that anyone can use (being using that on our own sites).

thanks,

Having to enter my email on a site is a major roadblock. Enough sites keep sending me unwanted mail that I seriously hesitate before signing up; I don't give out my email unless I'm pretty sure I know what I'm going to get, and I want it badly.

I often use a mailinator address when I'm not serious about signing up. It's very convenient.

I have no use for it, but I don't think it is a bad idea by any means. Keep up the good work :)
