Guide Review - NetMails.NET - Disposable Email Address Service

Ideally, you use a special email address for every site that require an email address. To this end you could create dozens of Web-based email accounts, and delete an account if it gets spam.

Or you use a disposable email address service like NetMails.NET. NetMails.NET aliases can forward to an existing address, but you can also access incoming mail via the Web. Once an alias gets spammed, it's easy to turn delivery off, and aliases can even be set to automatically expire.

As an additional bonus, NetMails.NET can protect your privacy and security by removing remote images, scripts and other nasty stuff from HTML emails. As a second layer of spam protection, NetMails.NET offers SpamAssassin filtering.
