Disposable email database
Is 10minutemail.com a disposable email?
Quick answer
10minutemail.com is operated by 10MinuteMail, a disposable / temporary email service. Signups using this domain are almost always throwaway. Block at signup if your product depends on long-term email reachability.
About 10MinuteMail
10MinuteMail issues a temporary email address that self-destructs after ten minutes. The inbox is browser-anonymous: anyone visiting the page gets a fresh address, and the address disappears when the timer runs out.
Operating since 2007.
What it’s typically used for
Quick, single-use email confirmations where the user wants to avoid spam follow-up. Common on signup forms requiring email verification before granting access.
Other domains operated by 10MinuteMail
The same service runs additional alias domains. Block these alongside the main domain — otherwise users will simply switch to an alias to bypass your filter.
- 10minutemail.net
- 10minutemail.org
Should you block 10minutemail.com in your signup form?
Any signup with a 10MinuteMail address will fail to be reachable within minutes. The user has explicitly opted out of any follow-up — there is no value in onboarding them.
How to detect 10minutemail.com in code
You don’t need to maintain a hand-rolled list. Vouchley returns a disposable flag (and the rest of the signup score) on every check:
curl -X POST https://api.vouchley.getrevlio.com/v1/verify \
-H "Authorization: Bearer vch_live_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"email": "anyone@10minutemail.com",
"ip_address": "203.0.113.10"
}'
# Response:
# {
# "score": 12,
# "recommendation": "block",
# "email": { "disposable": true, "valid": true },
# ...
# }Block disposable signups in one API call.
Vouchley keeps the disposable list current — including alias domains and new providers — so you never have to maintain it yourself.
