Fake emails list: test addresses that are safe to use
Need a fake emails list — 10, 100 or 1000 addresses — to fill a test database or check a form? This tool makes one right here, in your browser. By default the addresses use special domains that belong to nobody by agreement, so nothing sent to them can ever reach a real person.
⚠️
Do not invent domains that look plausible.
test@mycompanytest.com is somebody's real domain often enough to matter, and everything your form sends goes to a stranger who never asked for it. That is why the reserved names above are the default: they remove the entire category of accident, at no cost.What these addresses can and cannot do
| Task | Do these work? | What to use instead |
|---|---|---|
| Filling a test database | yes — this is what they are for | — |
| Testing that a form validates addresses | yes | — |
| Load-testing a sign-up flow | yes, and safest | — |
| Receiving a confirmation code | no: nothing can reach them | a real mailbox from the front page |
| Registering on a website | no | same — one address at a time |
| Many working addresses at once | no, deliberately | your own domain — then every name on it works |
ℹ️
Why we do not hand out working addresses in bulk. A list of live fake email addresses is a mass-registration tool, and its cost does not land on whoever downloads it; it lands on the domains, which go onto block-lists within weeks. After that the ordinary user who wants one confirmation code cannot get one. Receiving stays useful precisely because it is not automated.
If you need addresses that really receive
Attach a domain of your own: one MX record at your registrar, and then every name on that domain works, as many as you like, with no list to download and no shared reputation to inherit. The exact values are here, and the checker will confirm it took effect.
Selecting “my own domain” above generates the list against it. Those addresses work only if the domain points here, which is the one thing to verify before relying on them.
