I heard about this on the radio today so I thought I would check it
out. Basically you can makeup any email address and use it without
signing up. Great if some web site requires your email address and
plans on sending you a "confirmation" email. you can make-up an email
address, use it once, and never go back again. You don't need to
worry about someone else getting your address and sending you spam
forever. Anyone see any problems with using something like this?
