Generate fake .edu-format addresses when your test form expects that shape. Receive mail live for 20 minutes on domains you own.
Do not confuse format testing with issuing school or government identities. We never claim that.
The tech behind an .edu-looking test chip
The .edu TLD chip maps to a DummyEmails host in config, not to a university. Until Chirag's extra domains land, that host is a DummyEmails hostname ending in .edu only if we own it. Format checks belong in QA. Delivery belongs on owned MX.
What is a fake .edu email here?
A testing format. Not a school mailbox. Not a student discount token. DummyEmails will not help you impersonate a university.
Why forms ask for .edu during QA
Some products branch UI when the suffix looks educational. Testers need a way to exercise that branch in lab without minting a real student identity.
How to choose
If the form only checks the suffix, use the .edu chip on an owned DummyEmails host. If the form verifies against a real school directory, you cannot and should not fake that.
How to use this page
Pick the chip your form expects, copy, send the signup or OTP under test, and read mail in the console before the 20 minute TTL ends.
Conclusion
Live receive only on Chirag's owned domains. Fake .edu strings are for format checks in QA, not for impersonation or discounts.
