disposable email addresses

[cellio]

This is brilliant. http://www.mailinator.com provides on-the-fly disposable email addresses -- no account-creation foo, no passwords, and it's automatically deleted in a few hours. Next time a web site requires an email address (to which they'll send a verfication message that you have to use to complete the transaction), you don't have to choose between more spam and the overhead of creating another junk address at Yahoo or whatever.

I hope they can handle the server load. :-)

mailinator rocks. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it's proved very useful. Plus they get bonus points for the oblique trogdor reference, if that's what it is.
