Is it really possible to include most disposable email domain names? There are tons of them.

Is there a 'go to' list of disposable email domains?
Because there should be one which is updated daily which we can import (automatically, ideally) with a cron to stop spammers and scammers.

There was: https://github.com/FGRibreau/mailchecker/blob/master/list.json
Although it's found here also: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andreis/disposable-email-domains/master/domains.txt
Would be good if someone took over this add-on and updated it on the regular. I used to use it before it was abandoned. I don't use any others but still have the old list imported with 5,582 items. I suppose its stops majority of spam for now.

Hey everyone. I have updated the list and attached it here.
I wrote a simple txt2xml converter using Python after downloading the list from here https://github.com/FGRibreau/mailchecker/blob/master/list.txt.
Due to the size of this list you may be getting some errors if:
1. Your PHP settings does not allow uploads larger than 2M (I set mine to 20M temporarily).
2. Your web server does not allow large client_max_body_size sizes (e.g. 20M).
At the end I got a timeout error despite setting max timeout to 300s and waited less than that, however in my case all the rules were actually imported (55739 entries), so I just ignored the last timeout error.
