Show HN: I built a tool to validate temp email
- nullindividual 2y agoCan you explain how the backend works? Will it block Apple's 'hide my email' feature from functioning with valid @icloud.com addresses, or similar 'valid' domains with potentially disposable email addresses?
- edricj 2y agoMy team maintains a list of disposable domains actively, if the target domain couldn’t match existing records, we will verify its DNS record (coming soon) :PPP
- KomoD 2y ago> Will it block Apple's 'hide my email' feature from functioning with valid @icloud.com (not OP) No, but you can block those with a regex pretty easily.
- nullindividual 2y agoDevelopers and regex on email is always a terrible idea. So many fail to understand what the RFC allows (virtually anything). Can't tell you how often websites will reject an email address with a two-character localpart :-(
- edricj 2y agoFor such cases (refer to @icloud.com), no idea if we should take it so seriously… For now, our goal is to detect disposable mails from online free providers.
- KomoD 2y agoYeah I can relate to that... some don't even realize TLDs longer than 3 chars exist (my primary domain uses a 4 char TLD)

- edricj 2y agoPost again after a few performance improvements XD
- gus_massa 2y agoFrom the FAQ https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html > If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates. Anyway, sometimes it's better to write a blog post about an intersting problem you solved to build your project, but it's important that it's interesting.
- edricj 2y ago:P Oh thanks a lot! Just know about this point!
- beardyw 2y agoGreat domain name. This is already a crowded market. Do you undertake to not store email addresses tested?
