"Thousands of people use Mailinator everyday, so clearly, its a useful tool that many sites accept"

How many of you would have an outright revolt on your hands from your QA/QE folks if you banned mailinator? I think everyplace I worked would experience this same issue if we did this.

Here's a list of disposable email domains if you'd really like to block them: https://github.com/lavab/disposable

I would go one step further and look for {spam_words} in "username+{text}@{googledomain}.com", where spam_words can be "junk", "spam", etc. This is like a very narrow edge case, but still might catch something. Again, if you're into that kind of thing; I'm quite skeptical that it brings any value.

That was a fun read.

It took me a bit to get my head around the use cases. It's sometimes amazing how many different ways you can twist a simple (complex really) thing like email into a product/idea.

I am in a CIA prison.

I have to wait until it escalates. The guard has limited years to get me to go to a license plate job.

It will escalate. Couple years, maybe.

The IQ is not good enough to know what NIST is.

Prolly take couple more years.

Wow. Do my daily HN scan for the day and find an article you wrote ~4 years at #1. I hadn't read that in many years, and what fun to do a re-read. Thanks Internet - don't stop being you.

I was sad to see that the link to the domain generator was broken. The new one on the home page is a div that's generated server-side.

I hope you don't mind that I wrote a quick one-liner to see if you're still detecting bots...
