Easy Throw-Away Email Addresses

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."

A fellow teaching himself Seam has come up with a clever Web app called 10 Minute Mail

Their slogan... "JBoss Seam: For when you need more seam in your web experience."

I have special insight on this issue.

Just write to me at... oh, wait, it expired. OK, just did a new one. Shoot me a note at... damn. Hold on. OK, ready. Hit me at... damn! Never mind.

This is great! I used it for Slashdot!

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.

It is designed strictly for recieving email you don't want.

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

Well that sucks.

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

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

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

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.

It's a good thing your Aunt Salley doesn't...

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