Why remove them

• People use a throwaway inbox to get past a sign-up form or claim a free offer without giving their real address, and they seldom read anything sent to it later.
• Many of these inboxes expire after minutes or hours, or can be opened by anyone who knows the address.
• On a sign-up form, ask for another address instead: Validate sign-up forms shows how.
• In your sending platform, remove the address or add it to the suppression list, so a later import cannot bring it back.
