I used my free time during Christmas and pushed a huge update to my latest weekend hack. It's a disposable email address service.

Some of the main features are:

* SSL only connections

* All data is stored in memory using redis to make the site blazing fast

* New mails are instantly displayed using web sockets

* Automatically clicking on common activation links

* Your inbox doesn't expire

Thanks! I will add it to my filters and make sure users dont register through it. ;)

Using Websockets is a nice touch. However I haven't gotten my tests to work yet. Tried from my Gmail, and also manually SMTPing in.

The string in my URL is different but very similar to the string in the email address. Curious. 1QdVfTRH vs 1QdVfTS1

Taking a look into it. My first thought is that some DNS servers are not updated yet :(

http://mailinator.com/ has been around for a while, and allows you to pick your own inbox name, as well as many alternate domains.

Why? It seems like you are escalating a war AGAINST your users. Most folks who use a disposable address are trying to make sure their main address doesn't become a fount of spam. If I continue to visit your site/service, then I will probably decide to "update" my address on my own for the convenience. Am I really being naive?

My favorite disposable email provider, by far, is 33mail.com, mainly because the addresses don't have to be disposable. You give a different email address to each service, and, if you get spam, you know the culprit and can block them right away.

Brilliant.
