List of disposable email domains
This repo contains a list of disposable and temporary email address domains often used to register dummy users in order to spam/abuse some services.
Originally collected to filter new user registration at https://usegalaxy.org and later merged with other lists found online. I cannot guarantee all of these can still be considered disposable but they probably were at one point in time.
Allowlist
The file allowlist.conf gathers email domains that are often identified as disposable but in fact are not.
Example Usage
Python
blocklist = ('disposable_email_blocklist.conf')
blocklist_content = [line.rstrip() for line in blocklist.readlines()]
if email.split('@')[1] in blocklist_content:
message = "Please enter your permanent email address."
return (False, message)
else:
return True
Available as PyPI module thanks to @di
>>> from disposable_email_domains import blocklist
>>> 'bearsarefuzzy.com' in blocklist
True

- Make sure the passed email is valid. You can check that with filter_var
- Make sure you have the mbstring extension installed on your server
function isDisposableEmail($email, $blocklist_path = null) {
if (!$blocklist_path) $blocklist_path = __DIR__ . '/disposable_email_blocklist.conf';
$disposable_domains = file($blocklist_path, FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES | FILE_SKIP_EMPTY_LINES);
$domain = mb_strtolower(explode('@', trim($email))[1]);
return in_array($domain, $disposable_domains);
}

Contributing
Feel free to create PR with additions or request removal of some domain (with reasons).
Use
$ cat disposable_email_blocklist.conf your_file | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' | sort -f | uniq -i > new_file.conf
$ comm -23 new_file.conf allowlist.conf > disposable_email_blocklist.conf
to add contents of another file in the same format (only second level domains on new line without @). It also converts uppercase to lowercase, sorts, removes duplicates and removes allowlisted domains.

7/27/16 - Converted all domains to the second level. This means that starting from this commit the implementers should take care of matching the second level domain names properly i.e.
@xxx.yyy.zzz
should matchyyy.zzz
