I just use Yahoo mail and set up an alternative "base" address to which you can add a little bit on the end for every site you visit. Then if you find you are getting bombarded by spam, you can change that site's email address to a new one and delete the old one.
e.g. My main email could be [email protected] then you can set up an alternative base address of [email protected]
Now that [email protected] doesn't work on its own, you have to add bits. So if you signed up to amazon, you could set up the email as [email protected], for sainsburys [email protected]
They are all different and say you started getting a lot of spam on one, you could change [email protected] to [email protected] and then delete martinsmith-amazon.
All the emails to all the aliases go to the one inbox and you can pick the address you want to send emails from when you write one.
Hmm this is very interesting, Do you set up an alias address on yahoo for every website you register at? Or does this alternative base address allow you to use any configuration of [email protected] ? Gmx allows 10 alias addresses. Does yahoo give you more?
