Rebel=UK= Posted May 21, 2004 Report Share Posted May 21, 2004 Get enough SPAM lately? Have you ever gone to a website that asks for your email address for no reason (other than they are going to sell your it to the highest bidder so you get spam forever)?Welcome to Mailinator - Its no signup, instant anti-spam service. Here is how it works: You are on the web, at a party, or talking to your favorite insurance salesman. Whereever you are, someone (or some webpage) asks for your email. You know if you give it, you'll be on their spam list. On the other hand, you do want at least one message from that person. The answer is to give them a mailinator address. You don't need to sign-up. You just make it up on the spot. Pick [email protected] or [email protected] - pick anything you want (up to 15 characters before the @ sign).http://www.mailinator.com/mailinator/Welcome.do Sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanHo Posted May 22, 2004 Report Share Posted May 22, 2004 I tried using Mailinator a few months ago but it did not work. I was not able to retrieve mail.Being a glutton for punishment I tried again - still no luck.However - and this may be circumstantial - Spybot found a shed load of nasties on my computer afterwards.
