List of disposable email domains
========================
This repo contains a [list of disposable and temporary email address domains](disposable_email_blocklist.conf) often used to register dummy users in order to spam or abuse some services.
We cannot guarantee all of these can still be considered disposable but we do basic checking so chances are they were disposable at one point in time.
Allowlist
=========
The file [allowlist.conf](allowlist.conf) gathers email domains that are often identified as disposable but in fact are not.
Contributing
============
Feel free to create PR with additions or request removal of some domain (with reasons).
**Specifically, please cite in your PR where one can generate a disposable email address which uses that domain, so the maintainers can verify it.**
Please add new disposable domains directly into [disposable_email_blocklist.conf](disposable_email_blocklist.conf) in the same format (only second level domains on new line without @), then run [maintain.sh](maintain.sh). The shell script will help you convert uppercase to lowercase, sort, remove duplicates and remove allowlisted domains.

Changelog
============
* 2/11/21 We created a github [org account](https://github.com/disposable-email-domains) and transferred the repository to it.
* 4/18/19 [@di](https://github.com/di) [joined](https://github.com/martenson/disposable-email-domains/issues/205) as a core maintainer of this project. Thank you!
* 7/31/17 [@deguif](https://github.com/deguif) [joined](https://github.com/martenson/disposable-email-domains/issues/106) as a core maintainer of this project. Thanks!
* 12/6/16 - Available as [PyPI module](https://pypi.org/project/disposable-email-domains) thanks to [@di](https://github.com/di)
* 7/27/16 - Converted all domains to the second level. This means that starting from [this commit](https://github.com/martenson/disposable-email-domains/commit/61ae67aacdab0b19098de2e13069d7c35b74017a) the implementers should take care of matching the second level domain names properly i.e. `@xxx.yyy.zzz` should match `yyy.zzz` in blocklist where `zzz` is a [public suffix](https://publicsuffix.org/). More info in [#46](https://github.com/martenson/disposable-email-domains/issues/46)
* 9/2/14 - First commit [393c21f5](https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email-domains/commit/393c21f56b5186f8db7d197b11cf1d7c5490a6f9)

### Python
```Python
with open('disposable_email_blocklist.conf') as blocklist:
blocklist_content = {line.rstrip() for line in blocklist.readlines()}
if email.partition('@')[2] in blocklist_content:
message = "Please enter your permanent email address."
return (False, message)
else:
return True
```
Available as [PyPI module](https://pypi.org/project/disposable-email-domains) thanks to [@di](https://github.com/di)
```python
>>> from disposable_email_domains import blocklist
>>> 'bearsarefuzzy.com' in blocklist
True
```
### PHP
contributed by [@txt3rob](https://github.com/txt3rob), [@deguif](https://github.com/deguif), [@pjebs](https://github.com/pjebs) and [@Wruczek](https://github.com/Wruczek)
1. Make sure the passed email is valid. You can check that with [filter_var](https://secure.php.net/manual/en/function.filter-var.php)
2. Make sure you have the mbstring extension installed on your server
```php
function isDisposableEmail($email, $blocklist_path = null) {
if (!$blocklist_path) $blocklist_path = __DIR__ . '/disposable_email_blocklist.conf';
$disposable_domains = file($blocklist_path, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
$domain = mb_strtolower(explode('@', trim($email))[1]);
return in_array($domain, $disposable_domains);
}
```
Alternatively check out Composer package https://github.com/elliotjreed/disposable-emails-filter-php.
### Go
contributed by [@pjebs](https://github.com/pjebs)
```go
import ("bufio"; "os"; "strings";)
var disposableList = make(map[string]struct{}, 3500)
func init() {
f, _ := os.Open("disposable_email_blocklist.conf")
for scanner := bufio.NewScanner(f); scanner.Scan(); {
disposableList[scanner.Text()] = struct{}{}
}
f.Close()
}
func isDisposableEmail(email string) (disposable bool) {
segs := strings.Split(email, "@")
_, disposable = disposableList[strings.ToLower(segs[len(segs)-1])]
return
}
```
Alternatively check out Go package https://github.com/rocketlaunchr/anti-disposable-email.
### Ruby on Rails
contributed by [@MitsunChieh](https://github.com/MitsunChieh)
In the resource model, usually it is `user.rb`:
```Ruby
before_validation :reject_email_blocklist
def reject_email_blocklist
blocklist = File.read('config/disposable_email_blocklist.conf').split("\n")
if blocklist.include?(email.split('@')[1])
   errors[:email] << 'invalid email'
return false
else
return true
end
end
```
### Node.js
contributed by [@boywithkeyboard](https://github.com/boywithkeyboard)
```js
import { readFile } from 'node:fs/promises'
let blocklist
async function isDisposable(email) {
if (!blocklist) {
const content = await readFile('disposable_email_blocklist.conf', { encoding: 'utf-8' })
blocklist = content.split('\r\n').slice(0, -1)
}
return blocklist.includes(email.split('@')[1])
}
```
Alternatively check out NPM package https://github.com/mziyut/disposable-email-domains-js.
### C#
```C#
private static readonly Lazy<HashSet<string>> _emailBlockList = new Lazy<HashSet<string>>(() =>
{
var lines = File.ReadLines("disposable_email_blocklist.conf")
.Where(line => !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line) && !line.TrimStart().StartsWith("//"));
return new HashSet<string>(lines, StringComparer.OrdinalIgnoreCase);
});
private static bool IsBlocklisted(string domain) => _emailBlockList.Value.Contains(domain);
...
var addr = new MailAddress(email);
if (IsBlocklisted(addr.Host)))
throw new ApplicationException("Email is blocklisted.");
```
### Bash
```
#!/bin/bash
# This script checks if an email address is temporary.
# Read blocklist file into a bash array
mapfile -t blocklist < disposable_email_blocklist.conf
# Check if email domain is in blocklist
if [[ " ${blocklist[@]} " =~ " ${email#*@} " ]]; then
message="Please enter your permanent email address."
return_value=false
else
return_value=true
fi
# Return result
echo "$return_value"
```
### Java
Code assumes that you have added `disposable_email_blocklist.conf` next to your class as classpath resource.
```Java
private static final Set<String> DISPOSABLE_EMAIL_DOMAINS;
static {
Set<String> domains = new HashSet<>();
try (BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
EMailChecker.class.getResourceAsStream("disposable_email_blocklist.conf"), StandardCharsets.UTF_8))) {
String line;
while ((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
line = line.trim();
if (line.isEmpty()) {
continue;
}
domains.add(line);
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
LOG.error("Failed to load list of disposable email domains.", ex);
}
DISPOSABLE_EMAIL_DOMAINS = domains;
}
public static boolean isDisposable(String email) throws AddressException {
InternetAddress contact = new InternetAddress(email);
return isDisposable(contact);
}
public static boolean isDisposable(InternetAddress contact) throws AddressException {
String address = contact.getAddress();
int domainSep = address.indexOf('@');
String domain = (domainSep >= 0) ? address.substring(domainSep + 1) : address;
return DISPOSABLE_EMAIL_DOMAINS.contains(domain);
}
```
### Swift

let url = URL(string: "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email-domains/master/disposable_email_blocklist.conf")!
let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: url) { data, response, error in
