✨ Latest Improvements - Enhanced Security & Usability

🛡️ Security Features

Unicode Homograph Protection

Protects against IDN homograph attacks using visually similar characters:

• Cyrillic lookalikes: аdmin (Cyrillic "а") vs admin (Latin "a")
• Greek lookalikes: αdmin (Greek "α") vs admin (Latin "a")
• Number substitutions: adm1n (digit "1") vs admin (Latin "i")
• Fullwidth characters: ａdmin (fullwidth "ａ") vs admin (Latin "a")
• Mixed script attacks: αdmіn (Greek "α" + Cyrillic "і")

International Support

Properly protects translated administrative terms:

• Portuguese: naoresponda (do not reply), administracao, contato
• Spanish: administracion, contacto, soporte, conserje
• French: administration, ne-pas-repondre
• System variants: sys.administrator, sysadministrator, system-administrator

🚀 Quick Start

npm install reserved-email-addresses-list email-addresses

const reservedList = require("reserved-email-addresses-list");
const emailAddresses = require("email-addresses");

function isReserved(email) {
  const parsed = emailAddresses.parseOneAddress(email);
  if (!parsed) return false;

  const local = parsed.local.toLowerCase().trim();
  return reservedList.includes(local);
}

// Basic check
console.log(isReserved("[email protected]")); // true
console.log(isReserved("[email protected]")); // false

// Unicode homograph protection
console.log(isReserved("а[email protected]")); // true (Cyrillic "а")
console.log(isReserved("α[email protected]")); // true (Greek "α")
console.log(isReserved("[email protected]")); // true (digit "1")

📦 Installation

npm

npm install reserved-email-addresses-list

yarn

yarn add reserved-email-addresses-list

pnpm

pnpm add reserved-email-addresses-list

💡 Usage

Basic Usage

const reservedList = require("reserved-email-addresses-list");

// Check if email address is reserved
const email = "[email protected]";
const isReserved = reservedList.includes(email.split("@")[0].toLowerCase());

Advanced Security Checks

const reservedEmailAddressesList = require("reserved-email-addresses-list");
const reservedAdminList = require("reserved-email-addresses-list/admin-list.json");
const emailAddresses = require("email-addresses");

function validateEmailSecurity(email) {
  const parsed = emailAddresses.parseOneAddress(email);

  if (parsed === null) {
    throw new Error("Invalid email address format");
  }

  const local = parsed.local.toLowerCase().trim();

  // Check against main reserved list
  let reservedMatch = reservedEmailAddressesList.find(addr => addr === local);

  // Check admin list with prefix/suffix matching for variations
  if (!reservedMatch) {
    reservedMatch = reservedAdminList.find(
      addr => addr === local || local.startsWith(addr) || local.endsWith(addr)
    );
  }

  if (reservedMatch) {
    throw new Error(
      `Email address "${local}" is reserved for security reasons. ` +
      `Matched reserved term: "${reservedMatch}". ` +
      `See https://forwardemail.net/reserved-email-addresses for details.`
    );
  }

  return true;
}

// Examples
try {
  validateEmailSecurity("[email protected]"); // Throws error
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err.message);
}

try {
  validateEmailSecurity("а[email protected]"); // Throws error (Cyrillic)
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err.message);
}

validateEmailSecurity("[email protected]"); // Returns true

Unicode-Safe Validation

const reservedList = require("reserved-email-addresses-list");

function isReservedUnicodeSafe(email) {
  const parsed = emailAddresses.parseOneAddress(email);
  if (!parsed) return false;

  // Normalize Unicode and convert to lowercase
  const local = parsed.local.normalize("NFKC").toLowerCase().trim();

  return reservedList.includes(local);
}

// These all return true due to homograph protection:
console.log(isReservedUnicodeSafe("[email protected]"));   // Latin
console.log(isReservedUnicodeSafe("а[email protected]"));   // Cyrillic "а"
console.log(isReservedUnicodeSafe("α[email protected]"));   // Greek "α"
console.log(isReservedUnicodeSafe("ａ[email protected]"));  // Fullwidth "ａ"

🛡️ Security

Unicode Homograph Protection

This library provides comprehensive protection against IDN homograph attacks where attackers use visually similar characters from different Unicode scripts to create deceptive email addresses.

Attack Vector Example

// These look nearly identical but are different Unicode characters:
"[email protected]"   // Latin "a" (U+0061)
"а[email protected]"   // Cyrillic "а" (U+0430) - ATTACK!
"α[email protected]"   // Greek "α" (U+03B1) - ATTACK!
"ａ[email protected]"  // Fullwidth "ａ" (U+FF41) - ATTACK!

Attack Prevention Examples

Attack Type	Example	Status
Cyrillic Substitution	а[email protected]	🛡️ BLOCKED
Greek Substitution	α[email protected]	🛡️ BLOCKED
Number Substitution	[email protected]	🛡️ BLOCKED
Fullwidth Characters	ａ[email protected]	🛡️ BLOCKED
Mixed Scripts	αdmі[email protected]	🛡️ BLOCKED
Legitimate User	[email protected]	✅ ALLOWED
