Cool, another domain name to add to my list of disposable email services. Done.
But why?

#42A 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.

No IMAP/POP3 on free account is such a turn off

#43Great landingpage dude! Was building something like that a while ago for myself until I realized, I'd just use the email+something@gmail.com feature. But anyways, great idea! Wish you all the success or at least some decent side money.

(I also block TOR. Pure anonymity is not a service I choose to offer, because it is inevitably abused and I don’t have the time or resources to deal with it.)

#45I 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…
Note it says "anonymous", not "disposable". > 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 For you maybe.

Why not create a Gmail account for that purpose then? (Or Yahoo/Outlook if you're concerned with data collection.) The amount of hassle is the same. With Mailinator I just type khdgfkasjdhfg in the register field, then then type Ctrl+L "maili" [Enter], paste khdgfkasjdhfg in the (already active) "Check Any Inbox" field and bang! - I'm already there, always. Maybe there's something I don't see here.
