spambox.us

Handy website! Check out: spambox.us What they say:

What's that thing?
With this service you can create a temporary e-mail address that will forward all incoming mail to your usual e-mail address.
Simply enter your e-mail address and the life time of your spambox and we will generate you a temporary @spambox.info e-mail.

Why does spambox.info exist?
Many websites ask for your e-mail address to download software or to register. But you don't know what they'll be doing with your e-mail.. Your e-mail will probably be stored in a database which will then be resold to spammers and you will be receiving unsolicited bulk e-mail.

So? How does this website help?
We create for you a temporary e-mail address that will expire in the time you chose, all the mails directed to this e-mail will be transparently forwarded to your real e-mail.
For example, you need to register on a forum that requires e-mail verification, so you generate a spambox e-mail with an expiry of one hour. The generated e-mail will expire in an hour, way enough for the Forum to send you the verification code.

But.. You could be collecting my e-mail address!
Yes, we could be, but we're not doing it. We've got an automatic cleanup agent that wipes out every n-minutes the expired spambox e-mails. Don't worry, we won't sell your e-mail to spammers.

Looks like some very kind person has some spare server space on a fat pipe and decided to fix an odious problem. Have not used it yet but plan to and will report back if there are any "issues" (I have a bunch of throw-away email addresses of my own.)
