10 Minute Mail provides disposable email addresses for anyone. As expected, the email addresses expire after 10 minutes of their creation. That’s more than enough time to sign up for some shady website, receive the confirmation email and click the link typically found in confirmation emails. If necessary, you can even reply to emails.

that’s hilarious. its probably easier to just have one crap e-mail address to use for the same purpose as this, but just use it over and over.

Ha, pretty cool. The only thing is, if you ever need to recieve something from that website again, once the email expires, what do you do?

Caitlyn all you have to do is write down that email address and next time you visit the site, just give em that email address. That way when the SPAM comes in it comes back to them.
http://www.Mailinator.com provides disposable email addresses as well, and you don’t have to do anything to create them. Mailboxes are created when the email arrives, and are deleted a few hours later. I use it all the time to sign up for software demo’s, access to websites that require registration to read white papers…etc. The mailboxes even have their own RSS feeds.
I don’t think this will long last. It is very easy to create a script to check weather the email address is from 10 Minute Mail or anything like that and very soon sign-up services will adapt it.
