thank you.

This has added my personal deity.co.nz domain which is now causing havoc with my email. This is not, nor has ever been a burner domain.

@Igloczek Where did you get this list? Seems like many on here are not real email domains

tompec commented 5 months ago

The PR should be reverted. More domains from the PR are not disposable and have been added simply because they have forwardemail.net MX records (e.g., calvarylufkin.org). These domains appear to have been incorrectly flagged by verifymail.io, the source used by @Igloczek.

Large lists of thousands or even hundreds of domains should not be added all at once, as it is impossible for maintainers to verify each one.

Ah - that would be why my domain was on there. I use the free tier of https://forwardemail.net/ so use forwardemail.net MX records.

Can you please revert this PR?

FWIW, I have emailed verifymail.io to alert them of their misclassification.

Igloczek commented 5 months ago

@wesbos "root" domains: buzblox.com, gonetor.com, mailifyy.com are coming from my manual review, they are related to some fraudulent activities in my apps like creating tons of accounts to abuse free tier, or using fake credit cards for payments.

All the "related" domains are from verifymail.io, as @tompec said.

But I disagree with the opinion about adding lots of domains at once, since you would almost always either have an incomplete list, so the price of occasional false positives doesn't seem to be very high.

I've created a PR that removes all domains related to forwardemail.net - #461

Speaking as somebody who has lost emails because of this PR and then had to pay for a premium service to bypass use of the lists maintained by this repository - at 4am, because I couldn't sleep, worrying - I strongly disagree.

I've been chill about this because this was an honest mistake, but please don't downplay the human impact.
