How FastTempMail Works: Temporary Email, Live Inbox, and Auto-Delete
FastTempMail uses a Cloudflare-backed email pipeline to create temporary inboxes, receive routed messages, and clean up expired data automatically.
-
1. Generate
Create a disposable address
The API creates a random address and private browser token. The token keeps that inbox tied to your session.
-
2. Receive
Cloudflare routes incoming mail
Email sent to the temporary address is routed to the Worker and stored in D1 if the inbox is still active.
-
3. Read
Messages appear in the live inbox
The frontend polls the Cloudflare API and shows message subject, sender, body preview, and attachment metadata.
-
4. Cleanup
Expired data is removed
A scheduled Worker removes expired inboxes, messages, attachment metadata, and old rate-limit counters.
