Disposable Email Detection

Spread the love

A disposable email detection (DEA) is an email address that can be used to quickly sign up for a website or service without giving away your real email address. These ‘burner emails’ can usually only be accessed for a short period of time and are designed to keep your real email address private from spammers or other prying eyes. Disposable emails are often provided by a service that offers a free trial and can be cancelled at any time.

As a result, they are popular amongst people who are worried about their privacy online or want to try out products and services without having to commit to them. Disposable emails are also frequently used by people to avoid being added to a mailing list. As a result, disposable email detection is important for keeping your list clean and free of spammers and other unwanted subscribers.

The Rise of Disposable Email Addresses: A Comprehensive Guide to Detection

Email verification solutions often use a method of disposable email detection that checks a domain or an email address against a list of known DEA providers. However, this isn’t always effective because new DEA providers are created regularly and by the time a list of known ones makes its way into an email validation solution, it can be out of date.

To prevent disposable email addresses from polluting your list, it’s a good idea to verify every incoming email address in real time when someone signs up for your newsletter or other content. At MailerCheck, we recommend using our email verification API wherever you collect email addresses to do this. Then, you can automatically remove all emails marked as disposable from your cleaning report before they have a chance to negatively impact your deliverability.
