Email Deliverability Term

Disposable Email

A temporary email address used once and then discarded.

Definition

A disposable email (also called temporary email or throwaway email) is an email address created for short-term use, typically to avoid spam or sign up for services without revealing a real address. Services like Guerrilla Mail, 10MinuteMail, and Mailinator provide these addresses. Disposable emails are problematic for marketers because they have no long-term value, often become invalid quickly, and indicate low-quality leads. Email verification services can detect and flag disposable email domains.
