Keeping the email list clean honestly feels like a challenge sometimes. If you've seen many sign-ups with disposable emails, here's what you can do.

  • Use double opt-in: Probably the easiest but can be technically challenging if your system doesn't do this already. There's no way the bots usually get around to checking and clicking on confirm links (already more advanced ones do).

  • Regularly clean your list: You probably heard a million times now. Get into email validation. There are many services out there now but choose wisely - some are not as good as others. My tip is to upload a sample of known emails and see how well they do with that.

  • Monitor engagement metrics: It's a no-brainer - pay attention to engagement metrics such as open rates, click-through rates, and overall subscriber activity. High bounces/low engagement usually means lots of dummy temp emails.

  • Implement CAPTCHA: Use CAPTCHA on your signup forms to prevent bots. Because ultimately you want real people right - not some bots wanting to hear from you and sending spammy clicks your way.

  • Blacklist disposable email domains/Email Validation: Maintain a blacklist of known disposable email domains and prevent subscribers from using them to sign up. Check out Spotzee Email Validation

Btw Spotzee does blacklist monitoring, too - so check that out.

What else can you think of that helps combat disposable emails? Sound off in the comments!
