Yeah.. Yahoo!Mail users can create disposable/temporary email address too.

Unfortunately some sites don’t even accept email from Yahoo!Mail…

I’m working on a free service that transforms a mailto: link into an http:// link.

This way an email link is represented by what appears to be a standard hyperlink to a web page.

Fed up with spammers abusing my email address – I now reject all emails to my inbox unless they have gained ‘permission’ to do so.

I use a script to add a random PIN number to my email address that changes every 2 minutes.
By sending an email to my email/PIN, the sender obtains a long term right to have their message delivered to me. I can withdraw this ‘permission’ at any time.

Have a look at my blog for more information:

"Spam spam spam spam, wonderful SPAM!!!" A popular topic of Monty Python, I believe! Good article about hiding your email! One of the first questions I ask someone who is complaining about email spam is if they're posted it on their website and how. Thanks for some good tips on how to post your email WITHOUT asking for spam. I touched on email spam on my blog a few times... ALSO one of the funniest things is the spam comments I received on that post (posted about that too!)

If you’re running WordPress, why not just use a contact form plugin or even a plugin to obfuscate the email

Netti,

thank you for suggesting Otherinbox! It sounds like a great way to track how your eMail address is being distributed.

You can essentially do the same with Gmail, see Aibek’s post: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/1-awesome-gmail-tip-you-dont-know-about-seriously/
