Use case
Custom domain temporary email for teams
Use a dedicated domain for team-friendly temporary inboxes, QA accounts, demos, and staging workflows.
Public disposable domains are fast for one-off tests. Custom domains add structure for teams that need recognizable addresses, predictable logs, domain controls, and cleaner QA workflows.
Best team workflows
- Staging signup and onboarding tests.
- Workspace invite and role testing.
- Product demos with recognizable test addresses.
- Support and QA reproduction inboxes.
- Webhook and API-driven email automation.
Setup checklist
- Choose a domain or subdomain dedicated to testing.
- Configure MX records for inbound mail routing.
- Set mailbox TTL and creation limits for the team.
- Keep test accounts isolated from real customers.
- Monitor delivery and rotate test data regularly.
DNS tools
Use the MX checker to confirm inbound routing and the SPF DKIM DMARC checker when debugging sender-domain authentication.
