Terms of Use

Last updated: 6 August 2026.

These terms follow an address through its life: the moment it is generated, the hours it spends receiving, and the point where it stops existing. Using Temp Mail Generator means accepting what is written at each stage.

Stage one: the address is generated

Nothing existed before you loaded the page. The name was picked, a domain was attached, and the mailbox came into being in the same instant. That is why the generator is instant and why a discarded address costs nothing to replace.

What you are given is an inbox that receives, at no charge, with no account, on a domain this site owns and withdraws from circulation on its own schedule. It comes as it is, and the behaviour set out on the about page is the full extent of what has been offered.

Generating in volume breaks these terms. By hand or by script, the effect is identical: every domain in the pool has a finite working life, and creation rate is precisely the signal that ends it. A single loop can exhaust a name that several thousand visitors were quietly getting one address each from.

That is why automation goes through the published interface and nowhere else. Scraping these pages with a script, or driving the form on the front page from code, is a breach rather than a clever route around one, and traffic of that shape is slowed and then refused.

Using the interface itself carries four conditions. The key belongs to the account it was issued to, and lending it out makes you answerable for whatever is done with it. The ceilings are counted per key and are not a tier: three hundred inboxes an hour, six hundred reads a minute, a hundred alive at any moment. Addresses it issues come from a pool held apart from the domains this website offers, and taking that pool anywhere near somebody else's service to open accounts in bulk or evade their limits is outside what the key is for. Breaking any of those ends the same way, with the key revoked and its inboxes gone. There is no appeal process, because there is no billing relationship to appeal about.

Stage two: the address receives

It receives, and that is all. Sending is impossible from any address created here, and no future version will add it.

The arithmetic is unforgiving. Anonymous sending turns a service like this into a relay in days; its domains are refused everywhere in weeks; and the receiving half goes down at the same time. Keeping the generator alive is exactly what the restriction buys.

A message whose sender line ends in one of our domains was written somewhere else with that line filled in by hand. Forging the sender requires no control over the name being borrowed. If that is what brought you here, the contact page says what to send.

What must not arrive here. Do not point a generated address at anything that breaks the law where you are, at threats, harassment or fraud, at material illegal to hold, at getting round a ban you were given, or at registering accounts wholesale in defiance of some other site's rules. The terms of a website and the statute of a country are different instruments carrying different consequences, and this service was built to evade neither of them.

Other people's mail is not yours. A guest mailbox carries no password, which is a property of the design and not permission. Typing addresses to see what lands in front of you is a breach of these terms regardless of what the software permits.

Stage three: the address ends

Every address here has an ending written into it from the first second. A guest mailbox lasts one day beyond the last time it was touched, and asking the generator for a replacement finishes the previous one there and then, contents included.

We may also end it earlier. Any mailbox can be deleted at any moment without notice or explanation; any address, domain or stream of traffic that behaves badly can be blocked; any mail domain can be retired, which stops new addresses appearing on it. These are the controls that keep a free service standing rather than a system of punishments, and they are aimed at automation nearly every time they are used.

What is never promised, at any stage

That the service is available. It can be slow, interrupted or down, with no warning and no explanation owed.

That mail arrives. When a sender declines disposable domains, nothing reaches you at all, and the refusal leaves no trace we can see. A confirmation code that fails to appear is usually that, not a malfunction here; the practical answer is a new address on a different domain.

That the service continues. It can change or close, taking every mailbox with it on that day.

That it fits your purpose. An address from a generator must never sit on an account you might one day need to recover. The mailbox holding a recovery link has to still be there years later, and this one is engineered for the opposite outcome. The disclaimer sets out where responsibility falls.

Accounts

An account is free, changes four numbers and adds no obligations: mailboxes counted from your last sign in, ten at a time, domains that never appear on this page, and attachments. It also puts a lock on mailboxes that guests do not have. There is no paid tier above it.

The password carries the whole weight. Anyone in possession of it has every mailbox under that account, so it stays with you and nobody else. Where an account is used for something this page calls a breach, the account is closed.

Advertising

Advertising is what makes the generator free, and two house rules bind it beyond whatever the ad network requires. Every slot has its height fixed before anything loads into it, so the page never jumps under your finger as it settles. And nothing may be dressed up as a control belonging to this site: a format that only earns when it is mistaken for something else is refused at any price.

Liability

So far as the law in your own country permits it, no liability is accepted for loss arising out of this service: mail that never turned up, mail that turned up and then expired, an account stranded behind an address that no longer exists, or what follows when somebody else opens a guest mailbox. Should a court decide some liability cannot be excluded, the ceiling is whatever you have paid us, and that figure is zero.

Changes to this page

The terms move as the service does. When they change, the date at the top changes and the new version applies from that day.

Nobody will write to tell you. Carrying on with the generator after an edit counts as accepting it, so look in here now and then if the rules are something you care about. A change that makes anything materially stricter gets stated in plain words up at the top, never tucked away in the middle of some section.
