The beauty is that phil@xxxxxxxxxxxx is never a live address. > > Phil > I will have a look at that. I have been looking around a lot. Many of the sites will accept emails but you cannot send any. The problem there is that I plan to use it for things like registering with a site so that I can look around it. The registration requires an email address, but then will send a confirmation email to that address which asks me to send an answer back. This is their way of double checking that you have given them a genuine address. No good if the disposable address will not let me send emails, only receive them. Also, I prefer a disposable address which is not linked to any of my actual emails. I don't really want to have these emails sent to my real addresses at all. I want to use the disposable address as webmail, quite separate from any of my real ones. That way I can deal with unwanted emails easily.
