Getting Inappropriate Emails

Hi everyone, I have been building an email list for my upcoming saas tool called SEOForg but I have been getting Inappropriate/temp emails in my email list, for collecting emails I am using Mailchimp (Free version).

Is there any way to stop this??

    Hi Himanshu,
    I may be late to the party. Anways I am writing this so it will be helpful for others.

    Email verification API is literally for this purpose only. Basically it verifies if an email address really exists or not. Also, it checks if an email is disposable, temporary or not.
    This way you can avoid getting inappropriate email addressses.

    You can check this API which suits for this purpose: https://bouncebadger.com/

    Cheers!

    I use a temporary email address for everything I sign up for now. The 37 email long courses have gotten a bit out of control these days 🤣

    Jokes aside, just make sure people double opt in to the newsletter and then scrub emails with a list cleaner every so often. Should take care of at least half the noise.
