Use Python to Block Disposable and Temporary Email Domains for Free

What is a Disposable Email?

A disposable email address, often referred to as DEA, is a type of service that creates unique or random email addresses for each use or entity. These addresses are typically used only once and are not intended for receiving future emails. While disposable email addresses can be used for spam, they also serve legitimate purposes, such as protecting privacy or managing online identities. However, they pose a risk to platforms that rely on accurate user information, making it important to filter these emails.

            print(f"The domain '{domain}' is unresolvable.")
        elif result.get('blocked', False):
            print(f"The domain '{domain}' is blocked as a disposable email domain.")
        else:
