Check the signals behind an email address

Disposable status is one part of signup risk. This check also reviews mail servers, public providers, role-based addresses, and suspicious address patterns before returning an allow, review, or block decision.

  • Detect known disposable email providers
  • Check mail-server availability
  • Identify role-based and public-provider addresses
  • Return an explainable signup decision
  1. 0 min

    They sign up

    A throwaway address goes into your form like any other.

  2. 2 min

    They confirm

    The link is clicked from the temporary inbox. The account is live.

  3. 10 min

    The inbox expires

    The provider drops the mailbox and everything sent to it.

  4. After

    You cannot reach them

    Resets, receipts, and product mail bounce or vanish.

The check runs at step one, before the address has a chance to disappear.

Common questions

What is a disposable email address?
A temporary inbox that expires within minutes. It exists to clear a signup form, and nothing you send later gets read.
Why do disposable signups matter?
They never convert, and they are how one person takes a free trial ten times. Mail to them bounces, which hurts your sending reputation.
Will this catch a brand-new disposable domain?
Often, not always. New ones appear daily. A clean result means nothing known matched, so the check also reads mail servers and address patterns.
Should every disposable address be blocked?
That depends on your product. The check suggests an action. Your own policy decides what happens.
What else does this check return?
Mail servers, shared mailboxes like support@, public providers such as Gmail, plus-aliases, privacy relays, and likely typos.
Can I run this check from my own code?
Yes, with one POST request to the SignupScore API. The free tier covers 250 checks a month with no card.
