Handy Disposable Email.

Are you overun with spam?

The problem is the more people you give your e.mail address to, the more spam you get.
Especially if you sign up for the many competions on offer at sites like Cashcrate and Plum prizes etc.

You sign up for a load of comps. and offers [Cashcrate pay you just for signing up to offers] and the next thing you know, you are deluged with spam and other unwanted messages.
One answer is to get a separate email address just for these sign ups and then abandon it when it becomes over subscribed.

However, while I was browsing Linkreferral, yesterday. I came across this alternative option.

It's called MailEater and is a site that provides you with temporary email addresses.
You just choose an identity, add it to MailEater.com and use it for sign ups. You can use your identity as many times as you like and go back to MailEater to check for messages, if you want to.

The messages are only kept for 4 hours before being deleted. You can change your identity as often as you like, there is no need to sign up and everything is completely free.

Very useful when you dont want to use your primary addresses.
