Users of Yahoo Mail should take notice of the AddressGuard disposable email feature they offer. While I am not a Yahoo Mail user, this function seems very useful for doing things like signing up for new accounts on websites which want to validate your email address. You can basically create a truly disposable email address based on your existing email without having to sign up for a new account.
From Yahoo’s help:
For example, if you chose “dairyman88″ as your base name, you could create dairyman88-auction@yahoo.com or dairyman88-bank@yahoo.com, etc.
Messages sent to these addresses go to either your Inbox, or to one of your personal folders—your choice, each time you create an address.
If you start getting spam through any of your disposable addresses, just delete the address. Done! See ya, spam.
This is a cool feature worth taking advantage of.

That’s a nice feature but it’s only available in mail plus which you have to pay extra for.

How about DisposableE-mail.com?
It’s the only one I can remember, when I need a disposable e-mail, lol.
