You how it sucks when websites are nagging you to sign up just because you want to look at a page?
Found a nice firefox extension that goes into the searchbar - you just type glibberish and select the yopmail thingy instead of google or whatever and you are being transported to you new email inbox at glibberish@yopmail.com
Hey, that's very cool. This is really a good solution to the problem of websites making you register so they spam the s*** out of your mailbox. I'll definitely try it out. But, my question is: won't sites start banning yopmail.com as possible e-mail they want to spam ? I know they do this for hotmail, precisely for this reason, it is used by most people as temporary e-mail that they never check (due to the fact that hotmail sucks so bad it can serve no other purpose).
May I "advertise" spamgourmet.com?
You can have as many pseudo-email-addresses as you want,
all ending with let's say ".eatspam@spamgourmet.com".
Once you register at www.spamgourmet.com, setting a forward
to your real e-mail address (no they don't send anything)
and then you can create advanced disposable addresses
with the schema whatyouwanttoidentifythewebsite.X.ea...pamgourmet.com
with X from 1-20 telling spamgourmet to forward just as many
mails sent to that address, to you, and silently dump further
mails.
That way you can safely register and do some necessary communication
with websites, but get silently rid of them once they begin to spam you.
And you can distinguish one from the other based on the leftmost
address part.
