I took it down last friday, due to abuse. And put it back in service yesterday. So it is back and working now. -
dmonkey21955yWait what do you mean by "abuse a tempmail service"? I mean, isn't it meant to be abused?
-
Linux434835y@dmonkey
Not when it receives 100k mail from wish.com in a single day.
And no, it is NOT meant to be used for abuse. You have gotten it completely wrong.
Since it actually work and the only thing I did was to block all the emails from wish.com since yesterday - I can only assume that you had a part of it.
If so, fuck off. -
dmonkey21955yNope, I have my own wish account and I actually use it.
And by abuse I meant use it in cases where you suspect that you'll receive a couple usless spam emails (like invitations to events or stuff like that) or when a website asks for registration to download some resource or to access, but NOT to forward 100k mails.
I meant it as a joke, sorry if I wasn't clear.
If by my "concept" of temproary emails usage I misused your service I apologize and I'll stop, but again, that wasn't me with wish.
Also I have no idea about how to calculate workloads of servers and I am not aware of what a number n of emails can cause. Did they arrived all together or was it a problem about storage?
Finally, this morning I tried again to use the service but I can't connect both by chrome and firefox, just to let you know. -

Alright, thanks for explaining.
I did test some automatic fail2ban stuff and I suspect that you was IP-banned.
I flushed the rules, it should work now. -
Linux434835yFYI, there was no problem with storage, or workload of the server. I can handle that just fine.
I just hate abuse. -
dmonkey21955yI see, understood
Yeah, it works now.
Just one last thing: did I misused the service? Is it okay if I keep using the way I said?
