Is relay.firefox.com a disposable email?
Not exactly. relay.firefox.com forwards to a real inbox that keeps working, but the user can turn the alias off. isBusinessEmail reports it separately as "relay".

Consumer products usually accept relays. B2B products that need a company address treat them like personal email; the b2b policy recommends block.
