MailChecker is a cross-language library for validating email format and detecting temporary/disposable email addresses, backed by a database of over 55,000 throwaway email domains. It is available for Node.js, Python, PHP, Ruby, Rust, Go, and more.

Use cases

  • block disposable email signups
  • detect throwaway email addresses
  • validate email format on registration forms
  • filter temporary mailboxes like yopmail
  • prevent spam signups with fake emails
  • check if an email domain is a temp mail provider

When to choose

  • you need disposable email detection across multiple programming languages
  • you want a large, actively maintained list of throwaway domains
  • you need both email format validation and temp-mail blocking in one library

When to avoid

  • you need full email deliverability verification (SMTP checks)
  • you only need syntax validation without disposable detection
  • you need real-time mailbox existence checks
