EmailGuard [](https://hex.pm/packages/emailguard) [](https://hexdocs.pm/emailguard)

Elixir library for detecting disposable (burner) or personal email addresses.

Focused on performance and features the largest database of domains availble.

Comes with two lists out of the box:

• DisposableList - based on mailchecker's list, total 33,606 domains;
• FreeList - based on this list excl. already listed in DisposableList, total 5009 domains.

You can also plug your own dataset by implementing the EmailGuard.List behaviour ✌️

Installation

Add to your mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:email_guard, "~> 1.0"}
  ]
end

If you're not using application inference, then add :email_guard to your applications list.

Usage

Checks if given email or domain is present in email lists:

iex> EmailGuard.check("svilen@gmail.com")
:ok

iex> EmailGuard.check("gmail.com")
:ok

By default it will check against EmailGuard.DisposableList:

iex> EmailGuard.check("svilen@mailinator.com")
{:error, EmailGuard.DisposableList}

You can specify the email list modules, e.g. including the provided one for free email service providers:

iex> lists = [EmailGuard.DisposableList, EmailGuard.FreeList]
[EmailGuard.DisposableList, EmailGuard.FreeList]

iex> EmailGuard.check("svilen@gmail.com", lists)
{:error, EmailGuard.FreeList}

To provide your own custom list see the EmailGuard.List behaviour.

Note that EmailGuard expects a valid email address or domain as input.
