xemaps.com - invalid address?

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

Hi -

One of my recently transferred lists from Yahoo has a member that uses xemaps.com (one of those services that maps a "disposable" address to your real address). During the transfer, her address was rejected as invalid. I've tried sending invitations, but everything to that domain seems to be marked as invalid:

Does groups.io reject mail to these services? Is there any way for her to subscribe from her address on this service? I haven't been able to find any documentation about this.

regards,
Vivian

Probably.? From what Mark mentioned awhile back on the beta group, he's blocking as many of the 'disposable email' domains as he can to help keep out the spammers.? He doesn't make the list available because that would help the spammers find one that they can use.

Ah. That's probably it. Wonder if it's possible to make the error for these domains clearer -- something like "Blocked domain"??

Hi, That¡¯s called a blacklist and you¡¯ll need to ask Mark to unblock it for you. I asked him to for Lavabit and he did. However I did submit sufficient evidence that it isn¡¯t currently a disposable email service. I pay $30 yearly for this address. I signed up during a promotional period, so I got half-price.

??? However, I could easily abandon this address and get a new one somewhere else. Then do the same with that one 6-8 months later. All addresses are temporary in nature. Of course I¡¯m not going to do that for several reasons.

??? She could get a secondary address for groups.io lists. I did that for a while before it just got annoying, and I wanted to use this one. If the service is used for spam, it most likely won¡¯t be whitelisted.

Apples and oranges. Lavabit is an encrypted email service, not a temporary email address service. Xemaps.com is a disposable email address service. Their FAQ page even says that some places block their domain because of this.
