bad_email

Docs.rs badge

This crate can be used to check email domains against a list of 10234 known disposable email domains.

The crate has one function that returns true or false based on a full email being passed in as a copy of str slice and then splinting the str on '@' and then comparing the domain name to the list of unwanted domain names.

Returns true for an email address passed in with a domain name that is on the unwanted domain list

Returns false for an email address passed in with a domain name that is not on the unwanted domain list

Motivation

The creation of this crate was inspired by creating a website they allows users to sign up for email updates and seeing disposable email domains sign up.

The list of disposable email domains is from the disposable-email-domains npm package. Thank you to the creators and contributors to the package.
