Domain Reputation Repair: Strategies for Recovery and Rebuilding

Disposable email addresses are often used by fraudsters to engage in illegal activities such as spamming, phishing, and testing. They are usually “use-and-throw” and cannot be reliably tracked to an individual or business. They can pollute your contact list, reduce your marketing engagement and conversion rates, and damage your reputation. Disposable email addresses can also be a major source of bounces, resulting in decreased deliverability and a poor user experience.

It is critical to monitor the quality of your list and make sure that only legitimate, engaged users are receiving your communications. The best way to do this is to use an online service that can detect and flag any disposable email addresses for you, such as NeverBounce or ZeroBounce. Alternatively, you can use an API to detect disposable addresses in real-time such as Kickbox.

To check if an email address is a disposable one, you can look at the domain name (the text string that comes after the @ symbol) of the email address. Then, you can search for the domain in a database of known disposable email services that are being offered by different third-party providers. For example, johndoe@summis[.]com would be a disposable email address because the domain summis[.]com is in the database of disposable email services.
