Mailinator is a free, disposable email service for everyone who wants to protect their identity in blogs, forum and social media. The idea is to let a user create a new e-mail address on the fly, whenever needed, for instance while filling a form on a web site.

Mailinator will accept mail for any e-mail address within the mailinator.com domain, and allows anyone to read it. There is no need to register for an account or authenticate via a password. It is intended to provide users with an anonymous and temporary e-mail address to help reduce Inbox spam.

Pros

1. Mailinator addresses are ultimately easy to use
2. No connection to your real email address
3. Mailinator can be used with a number of domain names (should mailinator.com be blocked)

Cons

1. Mailinator is useful only when you don't really want to get mail
2. All Mailinator mail is public, keep that in mind

Description

• Mailinator provides an unlimited number of email addresses for everybody to use.
• Mail sent to any @mailinator.com address can be picked up by entering just the user name.
• Use Mailinator addresses to sign up to web sites, register software and more.
• Using a Mailinator address avoids the risk of your real email address being handed to spammers.
• Mailinator keeps up to ten messages for every address.
• You can use a number of alternate domain names instead of mailinator.com.

Mailinator takes throwaway email address a step further: all @mailinator.com addresses are in fact thrownaway addresses.

You can use any address you like to sign up for web sites, to post to board and other occasions where you need an email address (maybe to receive a password) quickly, but don't want to give your real address. Since Mailinator addresses have no connection to your real address at all, there's no risk of getting spam from using a Mailinator address.

Picking up mail sent to your made-up address is easy: log in at Mailinator with the email address. Since everybody can do this without a password, Mailinator is useful only when you don't really want to communicate.

Mailinator is email addresses thrown away into the public space.

BugMeNot is an internet service that provides usernames and passwords to let Internet users bypass mandatory free registration on websites.

Started in August 2003 by an anonymous person, later revealed to be Guy King, it aims to allow Internet users to access websites that have registration walls (for instance, that of The New York Times) with the requirement of compulsory registration.

This came in response to the increasing number of websites that request such registration. Many Internet users find this to be an annoyance and a potential source of spam e-mail. BugMeNot itself used to parody these sentiments in its own fake registration form.

Use of the service

BugMeNot allows users of their service to add new accounts for sites with free registration. It also encourages users to use disposable email address services to create such accounts. However, it does not allow them to add accounts for pay websites, as this could potentially put BugMeNot in legal trouble. BugMeNot also claims to remove accounts for any web site that requests that they do not provide accounts for non-registered users.

To help make access to their service easier, BugMeNot hosts a bookmarklet that can be used with any browser to automatically find a usable account from their service. They also host extensions for the web browsers Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Google Chrome (the extensions were created by Eric Hamiter with Dmytri Kleiner and Dean Wilson, respectively). There are also implementations in the form of a BugMeNot Opera widget, or UserJS scripts along with buttons, which makes it fully browser-integrated. An Android application is also available.

DeadFake is a fake email service (an online prank tool) that makes it easy to prank your friends by sending fake email messages to them. The idea behind the service is to make the email look like it is coming from someone else (say This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. etc).

While there is a funny side to it, DeadFake can also be used by spamer or worse for sending phishing emails. Thus, make sure to always check the headers in suspicious emails. The legit email will always have the “from” email address in the “Sender” field.

Features:

• Send fake emails.
• No registration needed.
• To learn more about how it works go here.
• Not to be used for spamming or other malicious purpose.
