Lots reject it. Most retailers use emails like phone numbers: unique to a single person. They often simply reject temporary emails of this nature. In fact, at one point even lemmy.world was not signing anyone up if they used temp emails.

Which is another reason that I don't use temp emails and use my own domain instead. I have run across that once or twice when using aliases like simple login.
