That is a great point, and it's definitely on the roadmap.
The "cat and mouse" game between disposable email services and site filters is constant. I'm currently looking into rotating a pool of less common TLDs to keep the service viable for longer.
The idea of letting users pick from a list is also solid—it gives them more agency and potentially bypasses blanket filters that only target the "default" domain.
Thanks for the feedback, Tony!
- sixtyj 9mo agoThis would be awesome. +1 There aren’t many anonymous mail services that would rotate less common TLDs. Usually it is a constant list of domains you can choose from.
- benmxrt 9mo agoAbsolutely agree with both of you. I just deployed an update that includes a domain picker directly in the address bar. Users can now manually choose from 8 different domains (including .net, .org, .la, and .info) to bypass blanket filters that often target the default TLDs. Rotating less common TLDs automatically is the next logical step to keep the service resilient. Appreciate the support!
- codedokode 9mo agoIf you provide a choice of domain name, it becomes easier to collect them for adding into blacklist. Maybe you better not show all the domains.
- benmxrt 9mo agoThat is an intriguing feature request. Most disposable services avoid outgoing mail entirely to prevent being abused for spam, but a strict 'Reply-Only' policy (where you can only send to the address that just emailed you) is a clever middle ground. Implementing this while maintaining the zero-persistence architecture would require a secure, ephemeral SMTP relay. It’s definitely a complex challenge, but the value it adds for verifying accounts that require a response is huge. I’m adding this to the experimental roadmap!
- sixtyj 9mo agoOP has to rotate them faster /s The problem I see that bad actors can misuse such services. The disposable mail services should be used for whistleblowing. https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email-domains https://github.com/disposable-email-domains/disposable-email... https://github.com/unkn0w/disposable-email-domain-list https://github.com/unkn0w/disposable-email-domain-list It seems that lists are updated quite often.
- benmxrt 9mo agothanks for the links sixtyj. the cat and mouse game with these lists is never ending... i agree that the ethical use cases like whistleblowing are why these tools need to exist. its a tough balance to keep them accessible but not abused.
- KomoD 9mo agoAll of these domains are already widely known because Guerrilla Mail are the ones actually running the email service, his website is a wrapper with a CORS proxy. He doesn't own or operate the cors proxies, mail infra, domains or the api https://www.guerrillamail.com https://www.guerrillamail.com And the entire app was just generated with https://aistudio.google.com https://aistudio.google.com (check view-source: and you'll see "aistudiocdn.com" for all the imports)
- benmxrt 9mo agoguilty of using ai studio for the fast prototype lol but the 145 users today caught me off guard... im working on a clean production build right now to move away from the google cdn stuff. just trying to build a better ui for these apis without all the bloat and tracking! thanks for the heads up
