| I just found out that this is a very bad email. i deleted the mailinator account and made sure nobody can register with this email again.

  | Mailinator accounts are not necessarily bad. If they are used for the purpose in which they were created, it is so that users can use an email address to register for something without having to worry about spam. If you are concerned with people having invalid email addresses, then you shouldn't allow registrations from mailinator...because you will basically not be able to contact those users via email in the future. If your only concern is spambots, I'm not aware of any big problems with mailinator addresses...but that doesn't mean it won't happen
