Description
The Temp Mail Detector WordPress Plugin is a privacy first temporary email prevention plugin which helps stop disposable emails from being able to sign up or comment on your website.
By combining the ability to use custom block lists alongside the optional Temp Mail Detector API you can choose which hosts are allowed or not allowed to register or comment on your website.
What’s available
This plugin offers multiple options:
* Blocklist – You can enter a list of domains you would like to block at signup.
* Protect comments – Choose if you would like the plugin to protect comments from disposable emails.
* Plus emails – Block emails which have a + in the user part.
* External check – This makes use of the dynamic Temp Mail Detector API for real-time checks.
To check against the Temp Mail Detector API, you will need to register for a free API key.
Each API key gets 200 lookups for free each month, which reset on the first of the month.
External services
If external checks are enabled via the use of an API key, when checking if an email is temporary or not through the Temp Mail Detector API, only the website address of the email is sent to be analysed. Your users emails addresses are never transmitted or shared with anyone.
If an email is [email protected], this plugin will only send website.com to be analysed. By never sharing your users emails, you can both check if an email is disposable while also maintaining your users privacy.
