- Zinite, on 10/12/2007, -1/+31www.Dodgeit.com is a similar site, but allows you to choose the name of your disposable email address.
- devondragon, on 10/12/2007, -1/+27Sweet. Save a lot of spam headache:)
- deadmessenger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20mailinator is better - it works forever, and accepts mail for any arbitrary address at one of their domains.
- jtjdt, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14I prefer www.mytrashmail.com
- OverloadUT, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12trashmail.net is another one. It even has a firefox extension that allows you to right click on an input field and do "paste disposable email" which creates a trashmail.net temp email for you. That way you don't even have to go to the website!
- sdub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Plus, mailinator deserves an extra bump for the spam map:
http://mailinator.com/mailinator/map.html - TheReport, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8does anyone still use dodgeit.com, I know when I dont want to give out my real email addy I use this site to ensure I dont get further spam from them that I could care less about.
- sdub, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Buried b/c mailinator.com is easier, more useful, and a lot older.
- blonkm, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Duh. Apparently you haven't heard how terrorists _really_ communicate. They have one mail box and just store draft messages. All members read the box. Advantage: no email is ever actually sent, so noone comes in between to scan the mail for 'bomb' and such. All they need to share is a password. Or.. maybe by now they have found an even better way...
- toran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5http://mailinator.com - the original temporary mail service.
- rcran, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Am I the only one who though (before reading the description) that this was an email address that you can set up in 10 min?
- TH3W1R3D, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3not extortion.com its http://www.extortr.com/
- supert0ad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i use spamgourmet.com. seems to do everything i need
- mogabog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like GishPuppy best. You can delete the accounts when you want, has a Firefox plugin and is generally just great. If you forget the email address you made for the site gish puppy will tell you.

I dig it.

Set your own expiry, password protection, address can never be recreated, so people can't send a password reset and change your password on you. - pythonhead, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I like jetable.com because with this Firefox extension you can right click on a field asking for an email address and then click on 'Get jetable email address'
No need to open another page and then copy/paste etc.
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/587/ - bryceman111, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1813/ ...has a Firefox extension that automatically pastes disposable e-mails for ya'.
"Create free disposable email addresses and paste them directly in forms. ...
...The email addresses can be deleted at any time!
This plugin uses the free TrashMail.net DEA service." - Splitt3rxx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2AWESOME, most useful site I have seen in a while.
- bariswheel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Hm...what's in it for them?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2this mail service resembles MidnightWatcher's mom in the aspect that its free for 10 minutes then you can dispose of it when you're done ***** with it
- Aliarse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I just use gmail..
Send myself an invite, create new account, job done. When its filled with spam, make another.. - sdub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If the mail doesn't show up, it's probably b/c the website in question is wise to what you're doing... that's the only mailinator downside.
- dmorel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I was going to be snarky and simply answer "yes, you're the only one" but I have to admit it does scan like that...
- jazbek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1This one looks really awesome.. you can make up aliases to your personal email addresses, and once you start getting spam at that alias, you can delete it. Right now my mailserver admin set up my personal account set up so that if I put myname-anything@domain.com, it will forward to my real account which is myname@domain.com. Basically I use this to give a different email address to every site I sign up at, so when I get spam, I know who's fault it is (for example, I signed up at Digg with myname-digg@domain.com.. so if I start getting spam at that address, I know it's Digg's fault). This doesn't help me in reducing the amount of spam I get, though. There are 3 email addresses that I consistently get spam from, and I always wished I could just shut them off. This GishPuppy thing makes it so you can, I'm definitely going to try it out.
BTW: if anyone is interested - I get about 99% of my spam from 3 addresses: one that I used to sign up with a public yahoo group, one from another mailing list that has the archives posted on the web, with the email address cheaply obfuscated (using "[at]" and "[dot]"), and one that was posted on my resume on my personal website. Beware of mailing lists! - thestu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i didn't click on the link for fear of getting pop-ups on my desk-top. instead i came straight to the comments section to see who had clicked on it and if it had worked. i guess that's a good parallel to the paranoia that comes with agreements to submit to the will of the provider of a good or service, especially online. it's that paranoia that all the above commenters passed to save them the paranoia from another provider. huh.
- khag7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1temporaryinbox.com is pretty good. it deletes all mail after 6 hours or something like that but even better is there is a firefox extention to automatically insert a random email address on forms. theres no registration so you can use anything you want @temporaryinbox.com
- somabc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.extensionsmirror.nl/index.php?showtopic=2964
- dmorel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Pretty sweet. I'm a big fan of bug me not for most sites that require a reg, but there are some instances (forums maybe) where one might want to register their own user name. Just don't forget your password, cause that password reset email...
- skywake, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2yes... you are the only one...
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://slaskpost.se , while we're posting all these links...
- JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4Wouldn't sites just start purging users who registered with a "10minutemail.com" email from their database once the site's purpose becomes well known? As it is now, some sites won't even let you register with email addresses from sites like hotmail, gmail, etc.
- gh02t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Or in Antartica
- NiGHTSChao, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://spambox.us/
just another alternative - Niro, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nice concept....
- nloui, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1www.dodgeit.com lets you choose any email address when you're filling in the form without ever having to "register" the account and it never expires.
just thought i'd give another choice
i've been using it for ages - cutechimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Check out the spam source in Turkey on the map.
- Lindsay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not a bad idea..I've been getting a little more junk mail than I'd like recently...I thought that apple mail bounce thing that Kevin talked about on Diggnation was interesting too...there is just too much spam.
- bobabadabouskie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nobody mentioned pookmail.com which is just about all i use. It was dugg a long time ago.
- iSamurai, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1THANK YOU SO MUCH! There's so many times when I couldn't remember the name of the site, googled and still got nothing, so had to resort to making yet another gmail acct that I will only use once.
- Spo8, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Who wants that? What if you get a site that's a bit overloaded and has to delay the delivery? Just use a normal spam service like dodgeit.
- Mimmiroo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1convenient.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i use this
http://dodgeit.com/ - welshbaloney, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Yes, I prefer spamgourmet. Not only can you invent your address on the spot, but you can specify how many emails get mailed to your personal mailbox, so you don't have to go to a web site constantly to check for emails arriving. Yeah, I know that you're giving personal details to yet another web site...but this suits me better.
- jutendouji, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1http://www.get1mail.com/index.php?slang=EN
Another alternative, and it's easy and painless. - jorgevargas, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1another tool for spammers to send you crap and make filters useless thanks!
- miaow, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1sneakmail
- Sparks123, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Mmm.....Nice concept...
- purplemoon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't know what is the fuzz about this site. There are other similar sites like dodgeit.com and temporaryinbox.com etc:- Moreover I sent a test mail to this site and it never showed up.
- Abjure, on 10/12/2007, -4/+4Dodgeit.com works just as well.
- UCFMark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2This is hardly a new concept- I've been using SpamHole (www.spamhole.com) for years and haven't been disappointed.
