This is a set of domain names separately from my main PR #817 , because I'm not entirely sure what these domain names are, and I cannot reliably proof these are disposable email domains.

All the domain names added below are using one of the following MX records with priority 1:

And all these MX hosts have the same (quite long) set of IP addresses. Additionally, many of the domains seem quite typo-squatty, which may be an attempt to confuse website owners. These domains were detected by my system, which means that they were used for actual registrations at some point.

However, I have not been able to identify who or what provides these addresses.

I leave the decision as to what to do with these domains to you.

Thanks for contributing. Many of these domains are spamtrap domains and one (protonmail.com) is a popular email service. The spamtrap domains are of no value but not technically disposable. Will close this for now.

@danhstevens Thank you for the response. I agree that these are spam trap domains.

However, please note that the list contains proNtonmail.com, not protonmail.com. Yes, it threw me off the first time I saw it too.

Nevertheless, while these are not necessarily disposable email addresses, I can imagine that these domain names are not desirable for registrations.

If you would rather not have these spamtrap domains in the list, I understand. But the list is accurate.
