    Hi HN! I use temporary email services daily, for different purposes such as: - Protect my real email inbox from spam, phishing... - Testing my apps where I need many distinct email addresses I always thought we deserve a better service; most of the popular ones are pretty slow and very ugly. That's why I developed my own. Temp Mail is the fastest and the most modern looking disposable mail generator app on the whole App Store. Available for iOS and MacOS, and Android version coming soon! If you want direct link to App Store, here it is:…

    I built Sniffmail because I was tired of fake and disposable emails getting through signup forms on every project I shipped. It verifies email addresses at the SMTP level without sending an email. One API call returns whether the mailbox exists, is disposable, has a full inbox, or is a catch-all domain. Install with npm install sniffmail, call validateEmail("[email protected]"), get a verdict. REST API available for non-Node stacks. What it checks: SMTP mailbox existence (connects to the mail server, confirms the address is real), disposable/temporary email detection (Mailinator, 10…

    I've spent the last few months working on something I wish I'd had years ago. I kept running into the same issue: CI green, production mail broken. TLS handshake failures, DKIM alignment mismatches, SPF soft-fails ... the stuff that only surfaces when real mail servers are involved. Most test tools (Mailpit, MailHog) are catch-alls. They confirm "an email was sent" but don't validate the protocol. They also aren't designed for network-exposed environments: no auth, unprotected Web UI, easy to enumerate messages. VaultSandbox is my attempt at fixing that. It's a self-hosted SMTP gateway…

    I built a REST + WebSocket API for programmatic disposable email inboxes. The main use case I kept running into while building: automated testing of sign-up/verification flows. You need a real inbox, a real OTP, and you need it fast. Existing options were either not API-first, had terrible docs, or charged $50/mo before you could even try them. What it does: - POST /v1/inboxes to register an inbox - GET /v1/inboxes/:inbox/otp to pull the latest OTP (parsed automatically) - WebSocket connection for real-time push instead of polling - Attachments, custom…

    I built *Tempmail3*—a lightweight, disposable email service that works instantly and requires *no signup or verification*. *Why I built this* I often needed quick email addresses for testing or sign-ups—but existing services were slow, cluttered, or required entering my real email. So I built Tempmail3 to be as fast and frictionless as possible. *What it does* - Generate a temporary email with one click. - View incoming emails in real time via the browser. - Discard or regenerate the address anytime. - (Optional) This is an open-source project: [GitHub link]. *Technical details & challenges*…

    I've been researching the bot & proxies space for years. I slowly incubated a service to protect public forms, contents and APIs. It recenty reached a few million daily requests and I now dare to bring it to light. Truesign detects bots, proxies/vpns and fake emails, through a single request from the browser, without challenges or user interaction. It can block the request based on rules you choose, or grant a token with encrypted information about the visitor for you to decide. I created a few pages to showcase how it works: - https:/demo.truesign.ai/protected-form : a form…
