Oh, how we loathe it. The daily spam. Be it in E-Mail, be it in comments on blogs, forum or otherwise, be it in Instant Messengers, we just hate it and we just can’t seem to avoid it. It seems to never die, like a perpetuum mobile. Spammers earn millions and cause billions in damage. It is a proven fact.
From Day 1 when I got my first Spam (Penisenlargement anyone? Whole 10 inches! I’m serious!) I’ve been looking for methods to avoid it. I have been somewhat successful to some degree. Let’s start with our lovely E-Mail Spam. What say you? They solution is
Temporary/Disposable Email Service.

There are a lot of advantages of having disposable and temporary Emails. But here are some of the key benefits:

Top 10 9 Disposable and Temporary Email Services
Over the time I collected a lot of links to Disposable and Temporary Email Services. Here’s my collection of the, in my opinion, Top 10 9 Services which require NO sign-up and NO registration and which are totally spam free.
Mailinator , one of the best and top rated disposable/temporary email services that gives you a temporary mailbox on the following address format: [email protected]
MyTrashMail , another good disposable/temporary mail service which gives you a mailbox in the format [email protected] It also gives you a secure temporary mailbox if you choose to sign-up
TempEmail , an anonymous and fast yet very secure temporary email inbox
TemporaryInbox , gives you an email inbox in different formats and is simple and easy to use
MailExpire , is somewhat unique because it gives you the option to have a temporary mail inbox with an expiration duration ranging from 12 hours to as long as 3 month
SpamBox , another unique disposable/temporary email inbox in the format [email protected] It also allows you to set the expiration duration
GuerillaMail , a very short living (15 min.) disposable/temporary email inbox
Jetable , allows you to choose the life span of the temporary Email inbox and also allows you to forward the mail from you temporary inbox to you real Email address.
