Disposable Email
A temporary, throwaway address from a burner service that stops working shortly after it's created.
Definition
A disposable email is a short-lived address generated by a temporary-mail service so a user can sign up for something without revealing a real inbox. These addresses self-destruct or stop accepting mail quickly, so messages sent to them bounce or vanish. Verification tools maintain lists of disposable domains and flag them, letting you remove low-intent or fraudulent contacts before they hurt deliverability.
