Private temp mail on your domain
Custom temp mail on your own domain
Point your domain's MX record to Free Domain Mail and any address you invent — shop@yourdomain.com, test-482@yourdomain.com — receives mail instantly. Nothing to create first. Only you can read the inbox, on the web or through the API.
First domain free · Receive-only · Mail kept for 30 days
How custom temp mail works
- Add a domain you own. Create an account and enter the domain. You need access to its DNS settings; you keep your registrar.
- Add two DNS records. A TXT record proves ownership. An MX record pointing to mx.freedomainmail.com routes incoming mail to your catch-all inbox.
- Use any address. Type anything@yourdomain.com into a sign-up form. The message lands in your inbox without creating the address first.
- Read it or fetch it. Open the message on the web, or call the API to get the verification code or link directly.

| Feature | Public temp mail | Custom temp mail (your domain) |
|---|---|---|
| Who can read the inbox | Anyone who knows the address | Only your account |

| On public disposable-domain lists | Usually | No — it is your domain |
| Addresses | One random address at a time | Any number of addresses, created on first email |
| Mail kept | 10 minutes | 30 days |
| API for codes and links | No | Yes |
| Sign-up | Not needed | Free account, first domain free |
Why use your own domain for temp mail
Many websites refuse sign-ups from known temp-mail domains. Those domains are shared by many people and appear on public disposable-email lists. A domain you own is not a shared temp-mail domain, so it is not on those lists.
Because the inbox belongs to your account, nobody else can read a code sent to it. That makes it suitable for test accounts, newsletters you may want to drop later, and one-off sign-ups you still want to recover.
What it does not do
Free Domain Mail only receives mail. It never sends or forwards mail from your domain, and there is no IMAP, SMTP or POP3 access. If you need a full mailbox for daily correspondence, use a regular email host instead.
Common questions
What is custom temp mail?
Temporary email on a domain you own. Every address at the domain receives mail automatically, and the messages appear in a private inbox instead of a public one.
Do I need to create each address first?
No. The domain works as a catch-all: mail to any address at it is accepted and shown in your inbox.
Can websites block my custom domain?
A site can block any domain it chooses. Your domain is not a shared temp-mail domain, so it is not on public disposable-domain lists, but some sites also check where a domain's mail is handled, so a block is still possible.
Can I keep using my domain for normal email?
Only if you move that email elsewhere. The MX record decides where mail goes, so a domain pointed at Free Domain Mail receives all its mail here. Many people use a spare or secondary domain.
How long is mail kept?
30 days on a custom domain. The public temp mail on the homepage deletes mail 10 minutes after it arrives.
Is it free?
The first domain is free. Additional domains are activated on request from your account.
