Title: Disposable e-mail addresses
Post by: chorleydave on August 20, 2003, 15:10

Apologies if this has been posted previously.

As most spam seems to come from dodgy sites that sell your e-mail address on whenever you register with them, it is useful to be able to use a disposable e-mail address that expires after a pre-determined number of messages have been sent.  I use disposable addresses from Spamgourmet whenever I am registering with a Software company, games site etc.  Used in conjunction with a permanent spam bucket such as a webmail account, I find that I receive hardly any spam at all in my pop3 mail.
