Got it, that makes more sense and could actually make your inbox more private as the email provider won't be able to snoop into your emails to gather data to "make your ads more personalized". I'll look into this now th

Can you give me an example of who would be sending you emails with PGP though to your disposable email address and why?

by TemporaryMail 2y ago
Thanks for the advice and I'll look into supporting email forwarding, but I'm not sure why users would need PGP.

Exactly, that's the site I had in mind although I'm pretty sure it had another name before (could perhaps also be the reason to why I didn't find it in the first place).

Got it, this could perhaps work and the downside would however be that the user wouldn't have complete control over the domain, unless DNS control is provided and before I can say the word, I'd be a domain name registrar. I think

If I'm not misunderstanding you, the same should go for aliases as they will be flagged as disposable addresses as well. I also noticed that Addy allows users to send emails through it, which is a risky process as it requires close mo

I think that's for the small players though as this should be pretty slow, expensive and have the risk of the "employees" stealing the data (the business they are in is practically stealing so I don't think they have hig

I think that completely depends on what the service is, but I don't think users would have anything against paying a few dollars if they find the service valuable, especially now when there are so many payment processors available. Bes

I'd rather fill out a captcha when I sign up than having to drag emails to spam on a daily basis so I can find emails that are actually important.

There are plenty just like there are IP lists for VPNs. Feel free to share a link to your service as I'd love to check it out and best of luck running it also!

Right, that actually sounds like a decent idea and since the users would then have verified themselves with their payment details, it would reduce the risk of abuse.

That's what I would assume most of them are doing, yes. In this day and age I don't understand why they wouldn't be able to just use a headless browser instead of doing it manually - has labor really become this cheap?

That's funny in a bizarre way. Imagine having to tell someone that you can't access your accounts because you retweeted something that wasn't deemed acceptable. Perhaps if we're lucky we will advance to having the big co

It's a great service that I used myself many years ago and I was sad to see them shut down, but it seems as though they are back now.

I'm not sure that's a great solution though, because all the domains would use the same mail server which would basically instantly flag your domain and all your addresses as disposable.

In your ideal world we would be all be: - Be hooked to a bunch of paid plans for stuff that's currently free. - At the mercy of all the big providers that could one day just decide to turn our account off without a reason. - Receive mo

That's great advice and although there's already an open source solution available, there's some hassle involved in setting it up. I will definitely look into these solutions and although I've seen some of them around, t

That's another way yes and I've actually seen another site do this, but I wasn't able to find it in my browser history.

Thanks for that comment, refreshing to read amidst this war zone of a comment section, ha ha! :)

Take a look at your network requests though, there isn't a single third-party script running on the site. I understand what you mean, but it has to apply to the use-case. If the service I was running was to support journalists, then

>Aliases you can discard are ad blockers for emails, disposable services are for bots, scams, and fraud. What is the difference between the two though? This kind of reasoning is why people can't run their own email servers anymore a

Again, wouldn't it be easier for the attacker to just buy a domain and use that completely undetected instead of having to use a rate-limited disposable email service?

A) The connection is fully encrypted. B) That would make the UX horrible. C) I had Tor enabled in the beginning, but when I got complaints from people on Tor doing really shady stuff with it I had to disable it.

This discussion isn't going in the direction I was hoping for, ha ha! But as a developer of these sites I've used the majority to check my own domains and the most reliable one I've found is https://www.ipqualitysc

I don't think there's any value in that though. You can get all the stuff you mentioned for a fraction of the time and money it would cost to create a disposable email service and then you would also only target the service you wa
