Easy Throw-Away Email Addresses

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bug-me-not dept.

netbuzz writes, "A fellow teaching himself Seam has come up with a clever Web app called 10 Minute Mail. It gives you a valid e-mail address — instantly — for use in registering at Web sites. Ten minutes later (more if you ask), it's gone. You can read mail and reply to it from the page where you create the throw-away address. Limited utility, yes, but easy and free."

  3. This is great! I used it for Slashdot! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    I don't want Big Brother netizens at slashdot having my real e-mail address.

    So I used this service and a throwaway address just to register.

    I highly recommend it. AAA+++ would use again

    Change your profile picture to a picture of a penis. In my experience, your account will be deleted within 48 hours.

    I know that description is correct, but it just reads really funny.

    Is there any service strictly designed for not receiving the email I don't want?

      For $10 plus travel expenses, I'll come down to your house and yank the cord associated with your internet connection. I think that should take care of the problem fairly well. No promises on receiving the mail you do want though.

    Your name was too long. Mailinator has a length limit.

    BTW, your Aunt Salley called, and she sounded right pissed.

    I just log into mailinator with random usernames - always fun to see what people signed up to without wanting to leave an email trail.
