My burner email blocklist blocked me · Benjamin Piouffle
- A few days ago I tried to sign up for a public open-data service (the ECMWF, if you care) using a Proton Mail alias, and the form rejected my address as “potential spam”.
- My frustration was mixed with a bit of guilt: in 2018 I published Burnex, an Elixir package that compared emails against a large list of known burner domains, temporary inboxes like yopmail.fr that exist to receive a confirmation link and disappear.
- The library itself was relying on the fairly popular wesbos/burner-email-providers list.
