I recently created a new open-source PHP package, which might be particularly useful for WordPress developers. It’s a disposable (temporary/throwaway/fake) email detection library. It’s framework-agnostic and can be easily integrated into WordPress registration form or email marketing service.
**GitHub Repository:** [https://github.com/beeyev/disposable-email-filter-php](https://github.com/beeyev/disposable-email-filter-php)
# Why It’s useful for WordPress Developers:
* **Disposable Email Detection:** Identifies and filters out temporary email addresses efficiently
* **Enhance User Data Quality:** By filtering out disposable email addresses, you can maintain a more reliable user database, improving the overall quality of your data.
* **Improve Email Deliverability:** Avoid sending marketing emails to temporary addresses, which can hurt your email deliverability rates and reputation.
* **Spam Prevention:** Reduce spam registrations on your WordPress site, making it easier to manage your user base.
* **Easy Integration:** Even though the library is framework-agnostic, it can be easily integrated into WordPress through custom plugins or functions.
I know that there are already some packages like this, but they are rarely updated, which is crucial. In the case of this library, there is a CI/CD scheduled task that runs regularly and automatically updates the source code with the latest disposable domains from trusted sources.
Personally, I don’t mind when people register using throwaway email addresses, but I use this package to avoid sending marketing emails to those accounts.
While this package is not specifically built for WordPress, you can easily use it by creating a custom plugin or adding a few lines of code to your theme’s functions.php file.
Feel free to explore the repository and consider incorporating this library into your projects. I hope you find it as useful as I have!

How does it work? How are you determining what constitutes a disposable email address?
