You can even donate a domain or have your own "private" mailinator domain by simply pointing the MX record for a domain or subdomain you control to their server.

I've always wondered why a site that blocks mailinator sites wouldn't just do an MX lookup on any domain you put in and check for mailinator redirects.
How much effort are you willing to expend to fight users who insist on giving you a throwaway account?
Probably because it's harder than /@mailinator.com$/i. And the determined will always succeed anyway, so why go to great lengths?
