Has anyone tried mailnull (www.mailnull.com) This allows you to create disposable email addresses that can be forwarded on to a private email address. you can then dispose of the mailnull address if it gets spammed. You can choose whether to limit the address by time or by number of uses. So for example if I create a root email address phil@xxxxxxxxxxxx I can then create phil.amazon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx If amazon sell on my email address I can delete phil.amazon@xxxxxxxxxxxx and create something else (in fact you can create a different email address for each site). The beauty is that phil@xxxxxxxxxxxx is never a live address.
