I've been using undisposable.net's API to find disposable email addresses but noticed that the site no longer appears to be functional.

Anybody know what happened to them? Are there any other sites that provide an API to disposable email address domains or is there a list that can be downloaded to check against?

EDIT: Clarification: I don't want to create disposable email addresses. I want to check if an email address submitted on a registration form is disposable.

A: 

You can try jetable.org or yopmail.com

The only one that I know of that provides excellent disposable email is this one but has no API but I can imagine it would be simple to check via issuing a 'POST' to it with a email address here...Mailinator.com

Edit: Thanks to cmptrgeekken for the heads up after his comment to this answer! My thoughts on this. I am not 100% sure nor confident if you can reliably check if the email address is a disposable one or not as they email address will appear to be perfectly legitimate and reasonable.... this may sound hackish but to go through all disposable email domain names to check, such as '@malinator.com'... again, this is muddy as perhaps there may be a header available in the email that could be checked against spamhaus.org to see if it's a disposable one...the bottom line, there is an '@' in the email, the domain will be valid and can telnet to it to check... other than that...

Hope this helps, Best regards, Tom.

I think he's actually trying to find a site that determines if an email address is from sites like mailinator.com, to tell the user that they can't use that email address.

@cmptrgeekken: Oh ok....fair enough the question was not clear enough when I posted the answer! Thanks for the heads up...

It looks like nodisposablemail.com provides this service. It's got a free account for up to 500 lookups, and pricing goes up from there.
