Guide Review - Spamex - Disposable Email Address Service

Certainly you've heard that you should never use your real email address on the Web. The idea is that you won't get spam if nobody has your address.

Spamex makes it easy to achieve just that: nobody gets your real email address, and you use a disposable email address instead. As soon as spam arrives through a disposable address, you turn it off, and it will accept no further messages. That's simple, and it is effective.

Spamex replaces your real address with the disposable one if you reply, and it has even more great features. Spamex aliases can auto-expire after a certain time or after a certain amount of messages, and it is possible to set up one-message Spamex aliases for others (useful on greeting card sites, for example).
