Disposable Email

Colin Dunstan · 05-24-2004, 03:00 PM

Disposable Email is used to kill spam. In reality, by using a disposable email in most of the subscribing forms, you prevent yourself from appearing on spam-lists, you fight against spam, and wild spammers

Or, you talk with a girl (or boy) on a chat, she (he) asks you for your email address, but you don't feel it very well. Let's have a visit onto Disposable email, and give her/him the generated address. You'll get her mail, but once the delay is over, you won't be annoyed anymore

Of course, you can use it in forums, in newsgroups etc.. There are so much ways to use it that it would be boring to list them all

Others way of use
Hide yourself to dredge your ex-. Preserve you spare time to read interessting emails, no more spam !. And why not, to say to your boss what you think about her/him... And no, Disposable doesn't cook, and isn't used to do the housework....

Another free service that does the same thing is Mailinator.

Have you noticed the irony in this? There's no privacy statement on the site.
I have to give my correct email address to a site I don't know/trust in order to not have to worry about giving my correct email address to sites I don't know/trust.

Excellent! Just checked mailinator and it gets around the problem I just noted above. By not making you enter an email address it's far more useful. No sign up and no need to remember an address either - just make one up!

After being down for a couple of months, Mailinator seems to be back.
