How can one ensure the scalability and efficiency of a PHP-based disposable email system?

To ensure the scalability and efficiency of a PHP-based disposable email system, one can implement database indexing for faster retrieval of email addresses, optimize SQL queries to reduce load on the database server, use caching mechanisms to store frequently accessed data, and implement proper error handling to prevent system crashes. 

// Implementing database indexing for faster retrieval of email addresses
CREATE INDEX email_index ON email_table(email_address);

// Optimizing SQL queries to reduce load on the database server
$query = "SELECT * FROM email_table WHERE email_address = :email";
$stmt = $pdo->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute(['email' => $email]);

// Using caching mechanisms to store frequently accessed data
$cacheKey = 'email_' . $email;
if ($cachedData = $cache->get($cacheKey)) {
    return $cachedData;
} else {
    $data = fetchDataFromDatabase($email);
    $cache->set($cacheKey, $data, 3600);
    return $data;
}

// Implementing proper error handling to prevent system crashes
try {
    // code that may throw an exception
} catch (Exception $e) {
    // handle the exception
}
