Mytrashmail.com seems to be out of business. Anybody using a 12-hour temporary email service and how's it working for you?

No experience using any. I know mailinator has been around for some years.

I have used dodgeit (http://www.dodgeit.com/) on occasion if I don't want to give my real email address away.

Think I'll try it because I swear this spam is driving me nuts.

One problem: You can't choose the same email name as someone else. For ex: I chose "Sally @ dodgeit and there was already a Sally. That's a flaw in the program.

If "Sally" has paid a subscription, then she can decide when to erase the emails. If she doesn't, the address remains her. Otherwise, it runs out after 7 days, and then you can get it.

If there were two or more "Sally@dodgeit" email addresses, when an email comes in for "Sally@dodgeit", how is the "dodgeit" email server supposed to know which "Sally" to deliver the email to?
