| # Random Emails | ||
|
|
||
| Generate random but realistic-looking fake email addresses with | ||
| [espanso](https://espanso.org). | ||
|
|
||
| | Trigger | Expands to | Examples | | ||
| | -------- | ---------- | -------- | | ||
| | `>email` | A random fake address | `eduar@gmail.com` · `j.smith@cocacola.com` · `mgarcia87@mycompany.com` | | ||
|
|
||
| Every time you type `>email`, espanso picks a fresh random address, so you get a | ||
| different one each time. | ||
|
|
||
| ## What's inside | ||
|
|
||
| The address is **fake, but every part looks real**: | ||
|
|
||
| - **~900 real-style usernames** built from real name patterns | ||
| (`eduar`, `j.smith`, `maria.garcia`, `mgarcia87`, `jonnydeep`, …). | ||
| - **185 real domains**, mixing real email providers (`gmail.com`, | ||
| `outlook.com`, `proton.me`), real companies (`cocacola.com`, `nike.com`, | ||
| `tesla.com`) and plausible business domains (`mycompany.com`, `myemail.com`). | ||
|
|
||
| The username and the domain are combined **independently**, which yields more | ||
| than **160,000** possible addresses. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Usage | ||
|
|
||
| Type `>email` anywhere espanso is active and it expands instantly: | ||
|
|
||
| ``` | ||
| >email -> kenji.tanaka@spotify.com | ||
| >email -> priya88@gmail.com | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| Great for filling forms, seeding test data, or generating placeholder contacts. | ||
|
|
||
| > These are randomly generated addresses. Any resemblance to a real, existing | ||
| > mailbox is coincidental — they are meant as placeholder/test data. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Customizing | ||
|
|
||
| The usernames and domains live in `package.yml` under the `local` and `domain` | ||
| global variables. Add, remove or edit entries in the `choices` lists to fit your | ||
| needs. | ||
