Truelist Email Validator connects your WordPress site to the <a href="https://truelist.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Truelist</a> email validation API. It checks every email address submitted through your forms before it enters your database — blocking invalid, disposable, and fake addresses at the point of entry.
<h4>Why validate emails?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Reduce bounce rates on your mailing lists</li>
<li>Keep your CRM and contact database clean</li>
<li>Stop disposable email signups (Mailinator, Guerrilla Mail, etc.)</li>
<li>Prevent fake registrations and comment spam</li>
</ul>
<h4>What gets validated</h4>
<ul>
<li>Invalid emails — addresses that don’t exist or have bad syntax</li>
<li>Disposable emails — temporary addresses from throwaway services</li>
<li>Role addresses — generic addresses like info@, admin@, support@</li>
<li>Failed MX check — domains with no valid mail server</li>
<li>Non-existent mailboxes — addresses where the mailbox doesn’t exist</li>
<li>Failed SMTP check — addresses rejected by the mail server</li>
<li>Bad syntax — addresses that don’t follow email formatting rules</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported form plugins</h4>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form 7</li>
<li>Gravity Forms</li>
<li>WPForms</li>
<li>WordPress User Registration</li>
<li>WordPress Comments</li>
<li>Universal mode — catches email fields from any other form plugin automatically</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Real-time inline validation as visitors type (optional)</li>
<li>24-hour result caching — no redundant API calls</li>
<li>Fully configurable blocking rules — enable only what you need</li>
<li>Custom error messages</li>
<li>API key test button in settings</li>
<li>Fails open on API errors — your forms never break due to an outage</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
A free or paid <a href="https://truelist.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Truelist</a> account is required. Sign up at truelist.io to get your API key.
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Truelist email validation API to check whether email addresses are deliverable. This service is required for the plugin to function.
What data is sent: The email address submitted through your form is sent to the Truelist API for validation.
When it is sent: An API request is made each time a user submits a form with an email field. Results are cached for 24 hours — repeat submissions with the same address do not trigger a new API call.
Service provider: Truelist (https://truelist.io)

Tempmails turns your WordPress site into a self-hosted temporary email

and IMAP mailbox. You own the data, the domain, and the brand.

<h4>Shortcode</h4>

This renders the full inbox UI — email generation, copy button, 
auto-refresh, message list, and message viewer modal.
<h4>Addon Ecosystem</h4>
Tempmails Core is frozen infrastructure. All new functionality is 
delivered via addons using a documented, stable hook system — your site 
never breaks on Core updates.
Available addon hooks cover: email generation, message routing, inbox 
access control, multi-domain support, billing integration, and more. 
See the Hooks section below for the full reference.
<h4>Privacy</h4>
Tempmails stores temporary email addresses in browser cookies to 
maintain inbox sessions between page loads. No personal data is collected, 
stored against user accounts, or transmitted to any external service. 
See External Services below for details on the optional GitHub 
ecosystem feed.

<h3>External Services</h3>
<h4>Ecosystem Feed (Optional — Default On)</h4>
Tempmails fetches a public JSON file from GitHub to display addon and 
ecosystem information inside the WordPress admin panel.
What this connection does:
<ul>
<li>Fires only when viewing Tempmails admin pages</li>
<li>Retrieves only public, non-personal JSON content</li>
<li>Transmits no user data, site URL, or any identifiable information</li>
<li>Results are cached locally for 1 hour to minimize requests</li>
</ul>
Remote endpoint: 
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ubermensch-site/tempmails-ecosystem/main/ecosystem.json
Service provider: GitHub 
Privacy policy: https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/privacy-policies/github-general-privacy-statement
To disable this connection entirely, uncheck Ecosystem Feed under 
Tempmails → Settings → General. Hardcoded fallback content is shown 
instead — no requests are made.
<h4>Google Fonts</h4>
The frontend inbox loads the Inter and Poppins typefaces and the 
Material Symbols icon font from Google Fonts CDN.
What this connection does:
<ul>
<li>Fires only on pages where <code>[tempmails_inbox]</code> is rendered</li>
<li>Transmits the visitor’s IP address to Google as part of a standard font 
request</li>
</ul>
Service provider: Google Fonts 
Privacy policy: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/privacy
To avoid this (e.g. for GDPR compliance), dequeue <code>tempmails-google-fonts</code> 
and load self-hosted font copies instead.
<h3>Developers</h3>
This section documents internal implementation details, security practices, 
and notes for addon developers.
<h4>Security Hardening Log</h4>
All security changes are tracked here for auditing purposes.
2026-04-04 — Security Review Pass (v1.0.7 patch)
<ol>
<li>class-core.php — <code>ajax_delete_message()</code>: <code>$_POST['message_id']</code> 
was <code>wp_unslash()</code>-ed but not sanitized, with a <code>phpcs:ignore</code> 
suppression comment masking the warning. Now wrapped with 
 sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( … ) ). Suppression comment removed.</li>
</ol>
2026-04-02 — Security Review Pass (v1.0.7 patch)
<ol>
<li>class-design.php — Removed raw <code><style></code> echo from <code>render_page()</code>. 
Static CSS moved to <code>assets/css/admin.css</code>.</li>
<li>class-design.php — <code>inject_css_variables()</code> refactored: replaced 
 echo “…” with <code>wp_add_inline_style('tempmails-admin', ...)</code>. 
All <code>$v()</code> return values now pass through <code>esc_attr()</code>.</li>
<li>class-design.php — <code>inject_frontend_css_variables()</code> refactored: 
all CSS values escaped with <code>esc_attr()</code>, <code>wp_strip_all_tags()</code> applied.</li>
<li>class-design.php — <code>wp_footer</code> fallback replaced raw <code>echo '<style>'</code> 
with a dummy registered style handle.</li>
<li>class-tempmails-shortcodes.php — Inline <code><script></code> replaced with 
 wp_add_inline_script(‘tempmails-frontend’, …).</li>
<li>class-ecosystem.php — Inline <code><script></code> replaced with 
 wp_add_inline_script(‘tempmails-admin’, …).</li>
<li>class-core.php — <code>ajax_mark_seen()</code>: sanitized with 
 sanitize_text_field( wp_unslash( … ) ).</li>
<li>class-admin.php — <code>save_settings()</code>: Raw <code>$_POST</code> replaced with 
 $clean_post = array_map(‘sanitize_text_field’, wp_unslash($_POST)).</li>
<li>class-email-generator.php — <code>get_emails()</code>: Cookie data sanitized 
with <code>array_values(array_filter(array_map('sanitize_email', $raw)))</code>.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Addon Development Notes</h4>
Hook Stability Guarantee
All hooks listed in the <code>== Hooks ==</code> section are frozen. Signatures will 
not change in any 1.x release. Breaking changes will only occur in a major 
version bump with a migration guide.
$clean_post in save_settings hooks
As of the 2026-04-02 security patch, both <code>tempmails_before_save_settings</code> 
and <code>tempmails_before_save_imap_settings</code> receive a sanitized copy of 
 $_POST. If your addon previously relied on raw values via these hooks, 
retrieve those fields directly from <code>$_POST</code> with appropriate sanitization.
CSS Variable Injection
<pre><code>inject_css_variables() now attaches inline CSS to the `tempmails-admin`
</code></pre>
style handle. If your addon dequeues <code>tempmails-admin</code>, Design color 
variables will not be applied on admin pages.
<pre><code>inject_frontend_css_variables() uses a priority waterfall:
</code></pre>
1. Attaches to <code>tempmails-frontend</code> if registered/enqueued 
2. Falls back to <code>tempmails-frontend-css</code> 
3. Registers a dummy handle <code>tempmails-design-vars</code> in <code>wp_footer</code> at 
 priority 1
