I'll piggyback on this and ask what HN is using to block those pesky disposable email addresses.

I offer FREE stuff in exchange of an email address (which can be removed immediately after), but I still get disposable emails, which is kind of aggravating.

From the other side:

So is giving up my e-mail address to receive something, knowing I'm going to get e-mail later about other things that I don't want (a.k.a. "spam", to some people).

I run my own mail servers, though, so I just create a new alias for everything, such as these one-off "give us your e-mail and we'll give you x" offers. I generally don't delete them afterwards, though, unless and until I start receiving other unrelated e-mails. Then, they get deleted (technically: timestamped and marked inactive in the database) and after a year they "reactivate" and become spamtraps.

I had bad experiences with users who used disposable email addresses to register for my service. Once a user went on a public forum to complain about our support. Turned out that he used disposable email address so there was no way to reach out to him and he was not receiving alerts from our service.

Now I just have disposable email domains blacklisted. It is a cat and mouse game as new ones pop up. Once we identify such disposable domains, we disable such users account and put domain on blacklist.

Here is a list to get you started. https://github.com/ivolo/disposable-email-domains/blob/maste...

I'd love to ask you a couple questions about what you're looking to block. Would you jump on a quick call?
