mailinator
nerd tip of the day - disposable email addresses
tired of signing up for accounts on websites that you KNOW are gonna send spam to your email address? maybe ya just want an account to do one thing, but they insist on validating your email address before activating the account.
mailinator is a service some dude created and is running for free. just make up any email address like xxx@mailinator.com and go to www.mailinator.com to check it. there is NO password - all emails to that address are viewable to the public (but it’s not like anyone will guess your ‘xxx’ username). emails are stored a few hours, then automatically deleted. perfect for receiving that ‘confirmation email’ just long enough to activate your account.
