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?
You are being naive -- it really depends on the service. For trivial online services, a disposable email might be fine, but for anything that costs money, you're doing your users a disservice by letting them register with an email address that they won't be checking (and which could potentially get hijacked, if someone knew the address).

You can also just add +domain to the local-part of your email address and do that without needing a disposable email service. Theoretically some sites may strip them out, but I doubt that many go to the trouble.
That only works with gmail.

#35Some services, like Facebook, normalize the mail address (turn all letters to lower case). Can you make sure that mails to the normalized email also reach my inbox? (They don't now!)

It works for many mail servers, including Gmail.

That would violate at least RFC 2821, which says that the local part must be treated as case sensitive.
Re: Receiveee.com - disposable email address
#39This is interesting; thanks for sharing. It's only useful until websites start filtering out the receivee domain - that's been happening with a few disposable email addresses. And the highlight on " We even automatically click on common activation links for you" was a bit confusing. I was expecting a link to a page about the pointlessness of Challenge Response. And what I really dearly want is an anonymous way to sen…

#40One thing I like about receiveee more than mailinator and 33mail is that you can start using it without signing up. The user interaction is very smooth.
