Prevent Sending mails to Disposable Emails

Hi there.
I want to prevent sending emails to disposable email ids, this will help me prevent bad actors from using my web app. Please help me how can I implement this in brevo.

Hi @Kashyap , thanks for posting on this community.

What you mean is that: people with disposable emails get subscribed to your newsletter, and then when you try to send them emails, it does not work. Is that correct?

If yes, to what extent could you rely on the soft bounces?

HI @ahudavert , thanks for reaching out. Apologies for not explaining whole scenario prior, I want to prevent users with disposable emails to signup in my web app.

Currently we have set-up that user can signup/login with email id and password. When user enters the email for signup and other details we send verification code to that email address via brevo email template to check if its valid email.

Now in this scenario when any user with Disposable email signs-up on platform they receive the verification code and can proceed to login. But this type of users are not desired and want to prevent them.

Hi @Kashyap , ok I see, thanks.

Maybe what you could do, but this works only if the disposable emails are following an identified pattern:

  • create a segment with this rule, for example: "email contains ‹ + › "
  • add an if condition to your automation
  • if contact belongs to the segment, don’t send the email
    => would that work for you?

Hi @ahudavert , Thanks for the response. I will try this out.
