Unsolicited "newsletters" (was Re: UKNM: FW: TIMOTHY)

I'm sure we all agree.

andreshotmail [dot] com

 for example is so swamped that

unless I know there's going to be a specific mail there (eg

subscription/password reminder for a site) I just routinely kill everything

in the inbox (about 150 spams per week).  I rely a lot on the MSN messenger

doodad y'see, so it's the only reason I keep the account alive because it

requires you to have a Hotmail account.


Anyway, rather than hop from one dummy email address to another, there's a

website which will give you a temporary email alias for as long as you like.

Forwards messages to your 'real' address and then expires.

Head-slappingly obvious idea -perhaps there are other people doing this, but

it's the only one I've come across.

unless of course they're just part of an international conspiracy to collect

'real' email addresses...
