Website looks clean, but the second disposable email address I tried showed up as "legitimate" while clearly being a disposable one. The service I tried with been online and active since at least 2018, so clearly not the problem of being too new.
You might want to find new sourcing of domains flagged as disposable :)
Hi thank you! Can you share what domain it is? I'll add it to a regression test and make sure I find a more recent source of domains! I had found one, but it contained microsoft.com and google.com so...
That'd kind of defeat the purpose of that service, wouldn't it? :)
I tried again, this time just searching HN for services that offers disposable emails, I think the 3rd or fourth I tried worked, so seemingly you aren't finding them via HN comments at least, might want to go through those too.
> Why 0.1% false positives are acceptable: Disposable email signups are low-quality. A false positive means one legitimate user retries with a different address — a minor inconvenience. False negatives (letting disposables through) are the real problem, and bloom filters guarantee zero false negatives.
this typical insane techbro considerations, would rather inconvenience REAL potential customers, than a TINY inconvenience for themselves for someone thats almost certainly not gonna be a customer.
it is disgusting that anyone thinks like this, let alone spends the effort to implement it.

I'm now using https://github.com/disposable/disposable which should be a pretty decent option
Doesn't even flag the first result for "temp mail" on Google
