MailGate detects disposable, fake & fraudulent emails using a bundled list of 8,400+ blocked domains + live DNS/MX checks with zero external API calls. Features: → Offline-first, works without internet → Typo detection (gmial.com → gmail.com) → Bot username analysis → Parked & temp domain detection → Returns ALLOW / FLAG / BLOCK with risk score 0–100 Use as npm library, CLI tool, or self-hosted REST API.
I built MailGate after getting tired of fake signups. Disposable emails, bot accounts, typo domains, all quietly polluting the DB.
Most validation services need an API key and add network latency. MailGate runs entirely offline. 8,400+ blocked domains bundled in the package itself, combined with live MX checks and typo detection.
What it catches:
- Disposable providers (mailinator, guerrillamail, etc.)
- Typo domains (gmial.com, yaho.com)
- Bot-generated usernames
- Domains with no active MX records
- Parked domains
Drop it into any Node.js app:
const { validateEmail } = require('mailgate');
const result = await validateEmail(req.body.email);
// result.action → 'ALLOW' | 'FLAG' | 'BLOCK'
