I use a different delimiter (using the option recipient_delimiter in postfix on my mailserver) and have yet to see a spammer figure it out. YMMV.
That works great if you control your own mail server, but most people don't these days. :)
I don't understand one thing: the whole point of a disposable e-mail address it's that you just can use it instantly and never reveal your real e-mail addresses to anyone. That's why Mailinator got so popular. But in order to use Maskmail I have to register - what's the point? I was thinking I could give it a try because it's new so it will work for a while for sites that for some strange reason block disposable e-ma…

For you maybe. For others the point might be "never reveal my real e-mail address to the sites I give disposable addresses to, be able to keep receiving e-mails for some of them long-term and not having them publicly exposed to everyone that knows the address".
Why not just append a unique marker to your mail address? Some services support this. For gmail i believe you can use "+" as the separator: I.e. your email address is victim8384@gmail.com and you want to give your email address to a party called "spammer", you give them victim8384+spammer@gmail.com instead. Once you start receiving spam to that address, you block it.
Cool, another domain name to add to my list of disposable email services. Done.
A bit off topic but does anyone know of an email service that doesn't require a pre-existing email account, doesn't require ID, is TOR friendly and accepts cryptocurrency as payment? It seems like this should be an obvious service but I have a hard time finding one.

That's a good point. I'd let users pay for using their own domains.
That could be interesting, but then what do they need you for? I can already do that with gmail. I just set up a domain on google apps and then tell it to deliver any email address to my main email. In fact I do that already (see my profile).
