README

A Laravel package to detect and block disposable email addresses using the disposable-email-domains list.
Supports blocklist (domains to block) and allowlist (domains to allow), with auto-sync from GitHub.

📦 Installation

Install via Composer:

composer require ovarun/laravel-disposable-email

The package uses Laravel Package Auto-Discovery, so you don’t need to register the service provider manually.

⚙️ Configuration

Publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

This will create config/disposable-email.php:

<?php

return [

    'blocklist' => [
        'mailinator.com',
        '10minutemail.com',
        'guerrillamail.com',
    ],

    'allowlist' => [
        'gmail.com',
        'yahoo.com',
        'hotmail.com',
        'outlook.com',
    ],

];

• Blocklist → Domains that should be blocked.
• Allowlist → Domains that are explicitly allowed, even if normally considered disposable.

🔄 Updating Blocklist

This package includes an Artisan command to sync the latest blocklist from GitHub:

php artisan disposable-email:update

The synced list is stored at:

storage/app/disposable-email-blocklist.json

✅ Synced domains + your custom config('disposable-email.blocklist') will be merged together.
✅ allowlist always takes priority over blocklist.

🛠 Usage

Validation Rule

Use the built-in rule in your FormRequest or controller:

use Ovarun\DisposableEmail\Rules\NotDisposableEmail;

$request->validate([
    'email' => ['required', 'email', new NotDisposableEmail],
]);

If the email domain is blocked, the validation will fail with:

Disposable or blocked email addresses are not allowed.

Standalone Check

You can also use the validator class directly:

use Ovarun\DisposableEmail\DisposableEmailValidator;

$validator = new DisposableEmailValidator();

if ($validator->isDisposable('test@mailinator.com')) {
    // Handle blocked email
}

⏱ Optional: Scheduler

To keep your blocklist always up-to-date, schedule the update command in app/Console/Kernel.php:

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
    $schedule->command('disposable-email:update')->weekly();
}

📝 Example Workflow

   composer require ovarun/laravel-disposable-email

2. Publish config (optional):

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config

3. Update blocklist:

   php artisan disposable-email:update

4. Use rule in validation:

   'email' => ['required', 'email', new NotDisposableEmail],
