You can even donate a domain or have your own "private" mailinator domain by simply pointing the MX record for a domain or subdomain you control to their server.

I've always wondered why a site that blocks mailinator sites wouldn't just do an MX lookup on any domain you put in and check for mailinator redirects.

This 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.

Dan, I was looking into anonymous sending options recently.

Two quick questions: - "don't mind having to pay"; what might you be willing to spend? $5/month? $50? 2c per email? - "they have to work very hard to get my real identity"; get-a-court-order hard? Or harder than that?

I have not been able to register a gmail address without a mobile number for about four years.

You can still do it, you just have to do the captcha thing. Here, I created one just now, for you: login/pass: blah44141@gmail.com/mypass125

What country was your/your exit IP in?

For anyone wanting to stop signups from disposable email addresses I've found this service to be really good:

http://www.block-disposable-email.com

has a massive database and a bounty for new additions!

We have 2 factor verification for http://8centsms.com/ but with the advent of disposable inbound SMS numbers via Twilio as well as disposable email addresses we were getting a bunch of people signing up and getting the free 10 credits repeatedly.

We haven't seen the problem recur since implementing this service, though so it seems the coverage is pretty good (/me prepares for onslaught of fake email signups to get the 10 free SMS credits via fake Twilio numbers ... )

All we need now is a service to blacklist disposable mobile numbers!!

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.

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.

Please do note that there's quite a few services that do not recognize '+' as a valid character for who knows reasons. I don't know why though.
