Do not allow "fake email" for registration

We have a registration process where users can register with their email address. We do not want to allow to register with fake emails like 10minutemail, or equal. How can I implement that? Is there a blacklist for tose domains?

Here's a pretty comprehensive list of temporary/disposable email domains. So depending on how you're handling the form submission, you might check against a list like that before processing the info for registration.

There are also some email validation APIs you might want to check out.

You can add an email confirmation to the registration process. If you are worried about fake temporary emails, you can add a delay before confirmation email is sent.
