Blocking disposable email signups for your SaaS?
I operate a SaaS that is used for hosting and I block temporary or disposable emails because I want to actively weed out bad actors or anyone who wants to farm accounts, phish, spam or do bad stuff on Internet.
Over the years I've grown a pretty large list of disposable email sites and have methods of automating discovery. I'm considering wrapping an API around the data set I've built and wondering if anyone would be interested in using it.
Thanks for your feedback!
I wouldn't feel comfortable sending my users email to a 3rd party service.
A Github with a downloadable list would be nice. But can't really charge for that.
I thought about that too. I wouldn't want to share the full email addresses for potential users to a 3rd party service. I've seen similar services actually do that, which is one reason why I think I'd like to compete on privacy.
My data set doesn't need the users email, just the domain name. Does that shift your thoughts at all?
Not really. My customers are usually small businesses with personal/company domains.
Sending just the domain name is like sending just the email.
