Create disposable email addresses with Firefox

Here’s the deal. You need to supply an email address to get access to a site or download some stuff or whatever. Now you know and I know t hat 30seconds after typing the address in that the spam is going to come rolling in along with your download.

So rather than create yet another hotmail/yahoo/google address to bear the brunt of this onslaught. Why not Create disposable email addresses – Add Features to Mozilla Software
This service is supplied by the rather nifty TrashMail. They are a Free temporary email forwarder(?)

If you insist on using that other browser you can do it manually.
Create a new email address on trashmail.net.
All mails to this address will be forwarded to your real email address for a number of times you can set up on the following form.
When the limit is reached, the Trashmail.net email address will be automatically deleted.
All following mails (like spam, newsletter, etc) will be rejected at Trashmail.net.

Very cool and very handy.
