Mail and spam

I was checking out servlets.com to see what new stuff was coming up. He put up a link about Mailinator. It's main use is for websites that ask for an email address for registration, and you usually have to check that email once or so to get the registration info. It's similar to spamgourmet.com but easier to use and has a nicer website.

So instead of setting up an account with hotmail, myway.com or yahoo.com, you make up a name like fancypants@mailinator.com and use that. Then you go to mailinator.com and check your email. And you don't have to worry about that email address getting hit by tons of spam.

Their FAQ is pretty good.
