IsTempMail

Very welcome. Keep the feedback coming 🙂

Hi Alfredo,

Regarding example.com – I can’t see your stats but this could also be from our plugin itself. We currently do a test API call using example.com to verify the tpoken provided. This happens when you activate the plugin or save settings. So it should only be very few calls. This is obviously not ideal and we’ll solve this with the next version of our API. We also know that users sometimes enter example.com addresses instead of an actual email to try and game email verification. This might also account for some of the API calls you saw.

Adding a log is a great suggestion. It would provide better insight and control for installations with many plugins. We’ll keep that in mind for the next major release of the plugin.

Thanks for letting us know about your use case. We agree that IsTempMail is a great way to prevent abuse of free product offers and can be a good layer of protection against fraud.

Thank you for your feedback. I’ll close this for now. Feel free to send us an email to [email protected] if you want to stay in touch regarding upcoming releases of the plugin.

Hi @retrobeatcom ,

Unfortunately the URIs setting cannot be used to generally disable checking except for signups. In WordPress Core login and signup use the same URL wp-login.php just with different parameters. So filtering by wp-login.php would also remove checks for signups.

URLs used can also depend on your specific WordPress installation. In WooCommerce for example, logins happen under /my-account/.

We are looking to improve this in future versions of our plugin. But the WordPress plugin landscape is pretty complex and we might not be able to deliver a general solution to check signups only.

@kingandfifthtech Yep. This is a common strategy of temporary email providers. They add new domains and remove existing ones. We are working hard to update our database as this happens. We add 10-20 domains every day.

You can save yourself the headaches of updating such a list by using the plugin Block Temporary Email – it will use a daily updated domain list.

You can also use the IsTempMail API to detect temp emails if you are developing your own project.

Short answer: Yes.

Long answer: Woocommerce validates email addresses using the WordPress internal mechanism is_email (called a ‘hook’). Our plugin simply extends this validation functionality. So existing validation by WordPress itself and other plugins is kept in place. So yes, it will work. 🙂

Hi,

I’ve checked and found that MailPoet sends the contents to /wp-admin/admin-ajax.php instead. So I updated our plugin to check the referer in case of AJAX requests.

Please update the plugin to 1.4.4 and it should fix the problem.

Let me know if it works for you.

Thanks, glad it helps.

Hi Philip,

The plugin was last updated 2 months ago, and we didn’t change anything with our API.

I couldn’t reproduce the error (error box with no message) in my local WordPress with WooCommerce.

Did you add gmail.com to the plugin’s local blacklist? IsTempMail doesn’t block gmail.com (it’s whitelisted, actually).

You may try updating all the plugins to the latest version and see if it helps. If you can access the PHP error logs, check if there’s any related error message.

You can send me the IsTempMail setting page (WordPress Dashboard > Settings > IsTempMail) and your IsTempMail ID (login to IsTempMail, scroll down to get the account ID) to our Facebook page, or to email address support [at] istempmail.com, I’ll check it.
