Guide Review - Mailinator - Disposable Email Address Service
Mailinator takes throwaway email address a step further: all @mailinator.com addresses are in fact thrownaway addresses.
You can use any address you like to sign up for web sites, to post to board and other occasions where you need an email address (maybe to receive a password) quickly, but don't want to give your real address. Since Mailinator addresses have no connection to your real address at all, there's no risk of getting spam from using a Mailinator address.
Picking up mail sent to your made-up address is easy: log in at Mailinator with the email address. Since everybody can do this without a password, Mailinator is useful only when you don't really want to communicate.
Mailinator is email addresses thrown away into the public space.
