Avoid Getting Spammed - Disposable Email Addresses


When I register for sites I’m not 100% confident in, or I don’t want to be spammed I create a temporary email address on one of my domain names e.g. temp@connectedinternet.co.uk. Then if I do end up getting spammed I can delete the emails.If you don’t own any domains then check out this great tip from gHacks. They have compiled a list of sites that offer Disposable Email Addresses. These one-time addresses can be ignored once you have retrieved any confirmation emails etc.

Word of warning - Everyone is able to read emails that are sent to the email address you specified, that means, everyone is able to request a new password and read the email that contains it. You should make sure that either you can hide your email from everyone except maybe administrators or signup with a real email.
