If you're an internet marketer, you have to give your email address for almost everything. To reduce spam, using a disposable email address is one of the best method to prevent unwanted spam. Disposable email address services promise to eliminate spam while leaving good mail untouched. On this thread I will post some of the best disposable email address service providers I find and their complete details.

I will start with my personal favorite :

SneakeMail

Sneakemail is a useful and quite powerful disposable email address service, but lacks some more advanced features.

Features:
* Sneakemail provides disposable email addresses for use instead of up to ten real email address.
* Disposable addresses forward to a real address until they are disabled or filtered.
* Filters can allow through, bounce, shred and defer received mail.
* You can attach notes to every Sneakemail disposable email address to identify it.
* Sneakemail disposable email addresses can be organized in folders.
* Sneakemail offers reply address masking and can censor sensitive information in outgoing mail.

Pros:
* Sneakemail provides solid disposable email addresses
* Your real address is hidden by Sneakemail even in replies
* Sneakemail offers filters and folders

Cons:
* Sneakemail does not support custom disposable addresses
* Sneakemail addresses cannot auto-expire

Keep watching this thread for more services or if you know of one, post it here.

Good Posting

Mailinator

Mailinator lets you use any email address @mailinator.com and pick up the mail at their site. Since there's no connection to your real address, you sure won't get spam from using Mailinator addresses. Keep in mind that all mail sent to Mailinator is made public.

Mailinator was the first (and still the best!) disposable email service for people who want to protect their online identity. It is a tool that allows users to create an on-the-spot email identity that provides anonymity and fights web inertia in one easy step.

Features:
* Mailinator provides an unlimited number of email addresses for everybody to use.
* Mail sent to any @mailinator.com address can be picked up by entering just the user name.
* Use Mailinator addresses to sign up to web sites, register software and more.
* Using a Mailinator address avoids the risk of your real email address being handed to spammers.
* Mailinator keeps up to ten messages for every address.
* You can use a number of alternate domain names instead of mailinator.com.

Pros:
* Mailinator addresses are ultimately easy to use
* No connection to your real email address
* Mailinator can be used with a number of domain names (should mailinator.com be blocked)

Cons:
* Mailinator is useful only when you don't really want to get mail
* All Mailinator mail is public, keep that in mind

E4ward.com

E4ward.com is a down-to-earth and very useful disposable email service that makes it easy to prevent spam to your real email address with easily erasable aliases. You can use your own domain with E4ward.com, but address masking in your replies is a bit cumbersome and auto-expiring aliases are not offered.

Features:
* E4ward.com lets you set up unlimited disposable email addresses.
* You can set up custom aliases or use random characters to make guessing more difficult.
* Each E4ward.com can have a memo to help you remember which site or use it was set up for.
* E4ward.com lets you create aliases for multiple real email addresses.
* You can use aliases at your own domain name with E4ward.com.
* E4ward.com protects your real address even in replies by routing them through its servers.

Pros:
* E4ward.com lets you create, manage and use disposable email addresses easily
* You can use your own domain with E4ward.com
* E4ward.com redirects your reply so the recipient never sees your real email address

Cons:
* E4ward.com does not offer aliases that automatically expire
* Masking your address in replies is a bit clumsy with E4ward.com
* You cannot manage E4ward.com in groups

Thanks for recommending these services. I have been using Mailinator to do my signups and now I never get any more affiliate marketing spam in my inbox.

** pros

* geek friendly and technomoron ez
* self expiring aliases
* whitelisting

** cons
* will not assassinate spammers
* learning curve for the mentally challenged (who deserve spam otherwise)

Great tip, it's exactly what I do. I used to use the same e-mail for every forum but I got spammed way, way too much. So now I have a different one for every forum.

Saving more everyday! Hopefully getting a new bank account soon, too. :)
