Mailchecker - Cross-language Temporary (Disposable/Throwaway) Email Detection Library. Covers 55 734+ Fake Email Providers
Cross-language email validation. Backed by a database of over 55 000 throwable email domains.
- Validate the format of your email (uses validator.js email regex underneath and
FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
for PHP) - Validate if the email is not a temporary mail (yopmail-like..., add your own dataset to list.txt)
This will be very helpful when you have to contact your users and you want to avoid errors causing lack of communication or want to block "spamboxes".
