Are there any limitations on email address names? Are bad words filtered?

0

The name you pick must form a proper email address or the email will never even get as far as Mailinator. This means that if you try to use bob@bob@bob@mailinator.com, or anything else that breaks email name rules, the RFC Monster (a close relative of the Bandersnatch) will eat your email before we ever see it. Beyond the normal rules, we limit email names to 25 characters. Other than that, we don’t do any specific word filtering of address names. If you are at a point in your life where you still think having the email “poopyhead@mailinator.com” is cool then we envy you.
