Is recursor.net a disposable email provider?

Yes - recursor.net is on our disposable provider list. Addresses on this domain are designed to be abandoned within minutes.

Why it matters

• Trial abuse. One person can open unlimited free accounts.
• Deliverability. Mail to abandoned inboxes inflates your bounce rate, which is what actually gets a sending domain blocklisted.
• Analytics. Throwaway signups poison activation and retention metrics for every cohort they land in.
