Add new fake email domain name
A generated address lasts a few days and shares a domain with everyone else — which is why a service that has seen that domain before may refuse it. Your own domain fixes both at once: the address lives as long as the registration does, and nobody has had a chance to put it on a list.
It is one DNS record. Below is exactly what to put in it.
1. Register a domain
Any registrar works — the ICANN-accredited list is the safe place to choose from. A quiet, unremarkable name costs about as much per year as a cup of coffee and is the whole investment.
2. Add one MX record
In your registrar's DNS panel, create a record with these values:
| Field | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name / Host / Alias | @ | Leave it blank or type the domain name itself: registrars name this field differently. |
| Record Type | MX | MX specifically. Neither A nor CNAME will do. |
| TTL | 86400 | The value is in seconds. 86400 is one day, a normal default. |
| Priority | 1 | If this is your only MX record, the number makes no difference — any will do. |
| Value / Target / Mail server | Note the dot at the end of the line. There is more about it below. |
3. Wait, then check
DNS changes take anywhere from a minute to a day to spread, depending on what the previous record's TTL was. There is nothing to speed that up, but you can see exactly where it stands: the domain debugger asks your domain's own name servers, live, and shows what they answer right now.
Once it reports the MX record, the domain is ready. Use it here:

If your registrar's panel does not make sense
DNS panels are all different and some hide the MX record two menus deep. Write to us through the Feedback link, or , with the subject “New Domain”, and tell us:
- which registrar you are using;
- the domain name;
- what the DNS section calls its fields, if it is unusual.
We will tell you exactly where the record goes for that particular panel.
