Detect alias

Closed this issue · 4 comments

Ideas to detect if address is an alias like example+1@gmail.com or for example yahoo ?

Aliases are valid emails, it's a standard most of email providers apply. Why do you want to detect them?

User can signup my app with alias address and spam my service.

If you buy any domain name you can also have an infinite amount of valid email addresses, without using any alias.

In general it's considered bad practice to forbid aliases. I'm using them heavily in many services even if I need create only one account.

So I'm 👎 to implement it in this lib.

okay, I agree 👍 .
