DisposableMail serves you a blacklist with domains from disposable mail services, like mailinator.com
or guerrillamail.com
. The list can be used to prevent sending mails to these domains (which probably won't be open), or to prevent dummy users registration in your website.
The domain list comes from this git repo: https://github.com/martenson/disposable-email-domains
And this gem syncs with it through a git submodule (see the data folder).
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'disposable_mail', '~> 0.1'
And then execute:
$ bundle
require 'disposable_mail'
DisposableMail.list # => ["0815.ru", "0815.su", "0clickemail.com", "0-mail.com", "0wnd.net", "0wnd.org", "10minut.com.pl", ... ]
DisposableMail.include? "[email protected]" # => true
DisposableMail.include? "[email protected]" # => true
DisposableMail.include? "[email protected]" # => false
If you include this gem in your rails project you can use a custom validator to block dummy users registration.
Suposse you don't want to create User
s with a blacklisted mail domain, and your mail attribute is called email
:
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
# validates :email, undisposable: true
validates :email, undisposable: { message: 'Sorry, but we do not accept your mail provider.' }
end
Now if you try to create an user with a mail from the blacklisted domains, you get an AR validation error:
user = User.create(email: "[email protected]")
user.errors.messages # => {:email=>["Sorry, but we do not accept your mail provider."]}
What if you want to create those users only in the test environment?
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
validates :email, undisposable: true, unless: -> { Rails.env.test? }
end
If you don't specify the message in the model validation, Active Record will look for messages in this order:
activerecord.errors.models.user.attributes.email.undisposable
activerecord.errors.models.user.undisposable
activerecord.errors.messages.undisposable
errors.attributes.email.undisposable
errors.messages.undisposable
Here's an example of an en.yml
file:
en:
errors:
attributes:
email:
undisposable: "domain is blocked"
You can use the aforementioned order of lookup to craft specific error messages.
This gem comes with default messages for the following locales:
