Free tool

Disposable email checker

Paste an email to see if it's disposable, temporary, or fake. Checked against 11,000+ known throwaway domains (refreshed daily) plus a live mail-server lookup. No signup, no cost.

What the checker looks at

  • Disposable domains

    Matches against thousands of known temporary / throwaway providers and their alias domains, refreshed regularly.

  • Mail server (MX)

    A live DNS lookup confirms the domain can actually receive email. No MX means the address is undeliverable.

  • Role-based address

    Flags info@, admin@, and similar addresses that rarely belong to one real person.

  • Free provider

    Identifies Gmail, Outlook, and other legitimate free providers — not blocked, but worth scoring a little tighter.

This tool checks the email and its domain. The Vouchley API also scores IP reputation, VPN, proxy, Tor, datacenter IPs, and AI-bot behavior — everything you need to stop fake signups in one API call. From $19/month with 100 free credits to start.

Frequently asked questions

Is this disposable email checker free?
Yes, completely free with no signup. Enter any email address and the checker tells you whether it's a disposable / throwaway address, whether the domain has a working mail server, and whether it's a role-based or free-provider address.
How does the checker detect disposable emails?
It matches the email's domain against Vouchley's published list of thousands of known disposable and temporary email providers — Mailinator, 10MinuteMail, Guerrilla Mail, temp-mail, and many more, including their alias domains — and then does a live MX-record lookup to confirm the domain can actually receive mail.
Can I check if an email is fake or temporary?
Yes. Temporary and throwaway addresses are exactly what this tool flags. A result of "Block" with the disposable flag set means the address is a temporary inbox that will stop working shortly after signup — a strong signal the signup is not a real, reachable user.
Does this verify that the mailbox actually exists?
It verifies the domain has valid MX records (so it can receive mail), but it does not open an SMTP connection to confirm the specific mailbox exists — that requires the full Vouchley API. For most signup-fraud use cases the disposable and MX signals here are what matter most.
How do I block disposable emails on my own signup form?
Call a verification API at signup and reject addresses flagged as disposable. The Vouchley /v1/verify endpoint does the disposable check plus IP, VPN/proxy, domain-age, and bot signals in one call, returning a score and an approve/review/block recommendation.
