Description
This plugin will verify every email address submitted by users.
It’ll automatically detect and block disposable, temporary emails.
It’ll give a nice warning message when users are signing up, logging in,
or changing email to a fake email.
It checks only the domain name against a service named
IsTempMail.
If a domain name is blocked, it will be stored into a local blacklist.
You can also manage your own local whitelist and blacklist.
The plugin integrates with the is_email()
function of WordPress.
It works seamlessly with WooCommerce, Contact Form 7,
Gravity Form, Jetpack/Grunion contact forms,
WordPress registration form and any form which uses the is_email()
function.

FAQ
-
Do you send my user emails to other servers?
-
No, we don’t. The plugin will only send the domain part of email address to validate.
-
Is the plugin free?
-
Yes, the plugin is free to use. IsTempMail also offers free API token which you can use for one blog.
-
What happens if the service is down?
-
It will continue to validate emails using local blacklist and whitelist.
The submitted emails are valid by default.
So even when the service is temporarily down, users can register, log in
and comment on your blog just fine. -
What happens to existing users with fake email address
-
Existing users registered with fake email address won’t be able to log in to your blog when the service is up and working.
This is a little punishment for using temporary email addresses. They won’t mind, because they’ll never remember
which disposable email address was used to flood your website database.
