The problem

Stop letting bad emails ruin your signup flow

  • Disposable emails flood your signups

    Users sign up with temp addresses, never verify, never engage. They inflate your MAU and wreck your email open rates.

  • Bounces hurt your sender reputation

    A 3% hard bounce rate triggers ISP throttling. Your transactional emails — password resets, receipts — start going to spam.

  • Building it yourself is a trap

    SMTP probing gets your IP blacklisted within days. Disposable lists rot fast. It becomes a full-time ops burden with no end.
