It’s happened to all of us. You’ve found a new forum, website or online vendor that you want to use, but you need to hand over your email address for the privilege. OK, no problem. Until your inbox starts getting filled up with junk email, all thanks to that website you used once and won’t use again. If only there was a way to get around having to hand over your actual email address.
Can you see where this is going yet ?
Step up GuerrillaMail.
From the Guerrillamail website:
Guerrillamail.com is a so called antispam solution, it is easy to use.
1. Get an antispam temporary email address on our website.
2. Use this email address to signup for a service you only planning to use once
3. Receive the confirmation e-mail(s) in your temporary antispam inbox
4. After 15 minutes your temporary emailaddress will expire and all mail send to this address will get caught by our antispam filter!
Sounds fairly simple, and it is.
Unfortunately I’m all signed up to all the useless websites I need right now, so I’ve not had a real-world test to throw at this yet, but I can’t see why it wouldn’t work as advertised. If you’ve tried it I’d love to hear how you get on.
