In order to prevent users from signing up with my site using a disposable email address, I want to check the email address during registration. I found many web services that offer to validate an email address against its internal disposable email domain list.

I think using this method is a very bad idea. Because of privacy concerns (or even privacy policies), you shouldn't ever expose the users email address to a third party.

I've found some public list, but neither seem to be updated:

Does anyone know a publicly available list, which is updated regularly?
