What is a disposable email?
A disposable email (DEA) is a temporary email address that is used for one-time only. These email addresses usually become inactive or unreachable after a short period of time, and they can be created quickly using online tools. People use DEAs for various reasons, including accessing gated content that requires an email address, avoiding spam and other unwanted communications, and protecting their real email addresses.
While people may use a DEA for a few minutes to access gated content, it’s important that businesses can detect disposable addresses as they sign up and engage with them. Having high numbers of disposable addresses in your database can negatively impact metrics such as deliverability, open rates and customer churn.
There are a few ways to detect disposable email addresses, including manually checking against databases of known providers and using automated methods such as email validation APIs or lookup tools. Valid Email Net’s DEA detection tool uses machine learning to ensure high accuracy and is available as a real-time API or a standalone browser-based app for quick and simple integration into any website.
