šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø I Found a Telegram Bot That Handles Fake Emails Like a Pro (And I Had to Talk About It)

I Was Gone, But I Wasn't Idle

It’s been a hot minute since I posted. Last blog went up on May 28th, and then? Crickets. Life got chaotic. But hey, I didn’t stop exploring.

So here’s what caught my eye recently:

šŸ¤– A Telegram bot that gives you a fake email address and notifies you instantly when new mail hits the inbox.

I didn’t build it — just stumbled across it, used it, and found it weirdly satisfying. Think temp email meets real-time alerts.


šŸ” What This Telegram Bot Actually Does

  • šŸ†• Spins up a temporary email address (like mail.tm or 1secmail.com)

  • šŸ“„ Monitors the inbox in the background

  • 🚨 Sends you a Telegram message when a new email shows up

  • šŸ’¬ You get the subject, sender, and body — right in your chat

No signups, no fluff. Just plug and play.


šŸ› ļø How It Works (Behind the Scenes)

While I didn’t write the code, here’s the gist of what’s happening:

1. Disposable Email API Integration

  • Uses email services like mail.tm to create inboxes via API

  • Retrieves new emails by polling the inbox every few seconds

2. Telegram Bot Interaction

  • Probably built with python-telegram-bot or similar library

  • Commands like /start, /reset, or /email for interaction

  • When a new mail comes, it pings your Telegram chat with the content

3. Built-in Cleanup

  • Emails are deleted after a certain time

  • You can refresh your inbox or get a new one


šŸ¤” Why I Found This So Cool

  • šŸ” Privacy: I can test sites or sign up without giving away my real email.

  • 🧪 Testing: Great for devs needing temp inboxes for form validation.

  • 🧹 No Clutter: It’s clean and keeps junk away from your main inbox.

Honestly, it’s the type of tool you never knew you needed until you try it.


🧠 What I Took Away

Even though I didn’t build it, playing around with it got me thinking:

  • How cool Telegram bots are for automation

  • How simple ideas can offer real utility

  • The power of open APIs like mail.tm

  • Maybe I should build my own version


TL;DR

I found this Telegram bot that gives you a disposable email and sends Telegram alerts when mail arrives. I didn’t build it — just used it, loved it, and had to share it.

Privacy + automation = chef’s kiss.


šŸ” Tools Used (Probably): Python, Telegram Bot API, mail.tm API, and some smart dev with free time.
