Could you confirm you won't store or otherwise log email addresses submited for check for any time longer then neccessary?

Hi airnomad, I'm the developer of the validation service here at Mailgun.

I can confirm that we do not store email addresses. The parser runs completely in memory and no address is persisted after the request is complete.

So tomorrow a national security letter shows up. Whaddyado?

This is probably a valid concern for some services. Do you keep the address in log files somewhere?

If national security letters are part of your threat model, nothing they can say can make the service acceptable to you.

You should also stop using EC2 or linode, stop injecting the google analytics JS into your pages, stop taking payments via Stripe, and so on.
