Personally, I Want to get a copy of my sales invoice, and I want to get another email telling me it has been shipped and how. Also, them having a correct email lets them communicate with me if there is a problem with my order or credit card. Its much cheaper for business's to communicate over email rather than calling people. Yes, I run a couple businesses, and I have never sold or supplied any customers email with anyone. I would say there has never been any legit business who has ever cared more about an email over money from sales.
I get direct marketing e-mails from several companies where I've signed up for accounts. The deluge of trash never stops. Nearly every company does it. Companies have completely ruined e-mail as a way to contact a person. I probably won't get that e-mail about a problem with my order because it'll be buried among a thousand spam messages that made it past the filter. You'd have to call me anyway to tell me what's in the Subject line so I can isolate your e-mail from all the spam. Otherwise I won't notice that I got an e-mail at all.
I'm gonna simply repeat myself. If in any sort of merchantile environment that is ultimately about money, my email must be some sort of actual ID like thing, then you're doing something shady with it.
Otherwise it's like supplying a home address and then moving. Like giving a cellphone number and switching providers/numbers/areas/whatever.
It's like calling me on landline and I'm not picking up cause I'm outside.
It's like sending me a postcard and my neighbor picks it up by mistake.
It's like calling me in person and I mishear you and don't respond.
None of this has ever stood in the way of anything truly serious.
If my email address is a complete pile of junk that anyone can read and you block it because of that, then that's STILL you being shady.
Instead of accepting my poor protocol regarding communciation, you still shouldn't ultimately care, as long as the money that exchanges hands for whatever goods, is good.
Fussing about my email == you're making money off it. 150%, nine times out of eight, every time. No exceptions.
You can simply create any mail to your disposable number. This will protect you from spam and advertising. It's very easy to do today. One of the best services with low prices: SMS-Man
There is a section on the site with their API documentation. You can easily write your own app and buy numbers in bulk. I've already done that and I'm using it safely.
@AlphaDG If you want all these things you are free so give them your real email and take the risk of the business being shady or just incompetent at keeping your information secure. And lets be real, a lot of websites asking for email will never need to send you an invoice or anything else important. Users know this.
The key part is that if you ask for an email let the user give you an email they are happy with, even if it's a temporary one. It doesn't mean an account is fake. It just means the user has made a rational decision regarding the tradeoffs involved.
As you can see in all these comments people just have been burned too many times and understand that a large percentage of sites have no real need for an email address and just use it to track people and spam them.
@markopy I agree with you 100% on if someone feels they need a temp email, and I have no problem with that. I personally have an option that a lot of people don't have.. I have my own server, so I create a 'forwarding' email for every single site I sign up for, and every single supplier. It takes about a minute to create one :) If I start getting anything not from who that email was created for, I just delete that email. They are all real, and are from one of my own websites, but I never give out my 'main' email :)
Most websites I give an email, are suppliers, so I do need to keep an open line of communication with each. As for asking for emails, I run 6 social sites, so having something real so they get their friend requests, message notifications, etc is important to me, and I feel it is important to them. If they give a temp email, I don't see them being serious about their profile, or returning. I have found with over 60,000 members (total) that 99.9% who use a temp email never return, or complete their profile. So many social sites are full of fake {or BS) profiles, and I don't want to expose those to the other members. There is a logic to my methods :) All of my sites give each person the option to 'Not' receive any notifications, and when anyone creates an account, it is set to 'No Notifications' initially.
Lets look at the 'person' above who wrote "I USE THEM TO HARM FORUM OWNERS AND SYS ADMINS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!!". Its because of people like that is why a lot of sites block temp emails. Creating thousands of fake profiles means nothing to me since I never see them. The software scans for empty profiles (not used in 3+ months) once a month and deletes them :) Each one takes a few bytes on a server with several terabytes of storage, and none are seen by other members. This guy is not 'harming' anyone, and wasting his time. :)
@AlphaDG Sounds like we don't disagree on much anymore. 2015 was a long time ago and I'm glad you automated things and don't spend 4-5 hours each week deleting fake profiles anymore :)
And that's really my main point. If someone using a fake email is "harming" your site you are doing something fundamentally wrong and need to take a step back and look a the bigger picture of why that is instead of reflexively blocking those emails.
Is it because people are forced to register when they shouldn't, like in all of @tsutsu's examples?
Are you trying to fight professional spammers, in which case a captcha before signup is probably much more effective? Also nofollow links, etc.
Are you trying to protect the culture and active members of your forum? If so, sure, you can use a fake email as a weak signal but there is no need to outright block them. You will likely get better results by simply using their behavior on your site to decide whether to ban them.
All the website operators who hate mailinator should take a moment to consider why it exists in the first place. It's not because the people who use it are primarily malicious, they are just trying to protect themselves. I mean this is such a big problem that even Apple has a feature now to automatically generate random emails for you: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210425
Yes, there is no way we should use legitimate email addresses online for anything except the most important resources we use (banking, social security, tax office). All the rest is too much at risk of being hacked or leaked, as webmasters do not properly maintain and apply security updates to their websites and forums. Not associating a real email to random website registration forms is a good security practice, as is a regular check on haveibeenpwned...
Be careful: willmedtrainingsolutionscom's list includes @gmail.com!
It also contains @gmx.com which is used by millions of people. Since he is using the list for lead generation he is probably doing them all a favor though.
I ban disposable email providers from my forum the moment they're noticed by staff. We don't send a newsletter. We don't send unsolicited mail.
gmail accounts are free so i'm not sure what you think you're accomplishing here
@bucketss gmail accounts are not free.
If something appears to be free, you are the product.

Interesting debate
I ban disposable email providers from my forum the moment they're noticed by staff.
Then you probably won't see me there, and probably don't miss much either :)
We don't send a newsletter. We don't send unsolicited mail.
sure but do I have to trust you to never ever have data leak ?
Maybe someone above suggested it would be a better idea to require SMS verification?
there are ways to get disposable mobile number even if a bit harder than getting email address
spammers
I manage a community driven event platform (think of meetup.com but free), and most (I would say 99%) of the spam comes from users having a gmail address. Still I can't ban gmail as most (I would say 50%) of the legit users are also having gmail address.
But hey, your plaftorm, your rules.

still operated by mailinator ? afaict, it seems not.
plus some are "ns1.namefind.com" so domain to sell.
@setop after ~10 years, I'm not surprised it's not up to date. The code I wrote to build this is long gone.

Sure that was it was worth an update ;)
And thanks for the initial job of collecting them.
I recovered it as you message remind me I did the same in the past :)
I know they use to show some of them on homepage. This is not the case anymore.
My list - and the code I used to build it - is eight years old.
I merged our both lists in my comment.
Do you have any source to get more of them ?
Not my platform any more. I divested myself from it. They can clean up after all the spam manually.
If in any sort of 'online merchantilism' the validy of my email is important and not the money I'll be paying or receiving, then you're doing something shady with my email.
Either you're selling it, or you're using it to send adverts through some other puppet outlet and other such things.
Because otherwise, you're not going to buy a loaf of bread at the bakery with my email, you're buying it with cash.
So, again, if you sweat about my email and not about actual money, they my email is money to you, and I don't want my email to be your income.
