Run this check on every signup.
Vevee's signup guard runs the same check when an account is created, adds a device match that spots repeat free accounts, and tells your backend who to allow, who to review and who to keep off the free plan.

What is a disposable email address?
A temporary inbox from a service like Mailinator or 10 Minute Mail. It works for a few minutes, long enough to receive a signup code, then it is gone. People use them to grab a free plan or a trial again and again.
Is the checker free?
Yes, 25 checks per network per day, no account and no card. To check every signup in your app, sign up for the signup guard.
Do you store the address I check?
No. The address is checked and forgotten. We keep a daily count per domain and verdict. For the daily limit we keep a scrambled code of your network that changes every day and is deleted after two days, never your IP itself.
Why is a relay address marked as fine?
Apple Hide My Email, Firefox Relay and similar services forward to a real inbox. Real, paying people use them, so blocking them costs you customers.
Why look at the mail server, not just the lists?
Throwaway services register new domains every day, faster than any list can follow. Their domains usually point to the same few mail servers, so a brand new domain still gets caught.
How do I block disposable emails at signup in my app?
Call the Vevee signup guard from your backend when an account is created. It runs this check plus a device match and returns allow, review, deny_free or block. Your app decides what to do.
