proxy emails are rejected more and more. Same with google tel numbers. The internet feels more and more like the garbage compactor scene in Star Wars.

How would the website know that it is a "proxy email?" I am using my own domain name and email server, and don't believe I ever received a rejection.

  • I usually try to make it obvious what company I have the account to, it makes it easier to track down in cases where the service isn't one that sends mail often. Samsung will not let me use Samsung in my email address. Many companies don't want your email address to include their name.

    After I give up and use a real address, some companies will reject my personal first@last.family address because it's still Y2K and .family is not a valid tld.
