===== FAQ =====

  - Why use this. As much as disposable mails may be nice to avoid receiving spam, it will fill up the phpList database with incorrect addresses and unnecessarily increase traffic. It is also highly unlikely the subscriber will remember the disposable address and check it for newsletters.
