Anti spam webmail?

I am getting no end of spam, I saw a webmail site and forgotten the name of it, Is anyone able to remind me of the name I am looking for

It's an email system, and you can set "Spam.myemail@xxxxxxxxx.com"

and it blocks the spam

also, "Freetrial.myemail@xxxxxxxxx.com" then after the trial, you can block that email

Thanks in advance

  • yopmail.com is what I use. Throwaway addresses, but remember anyone can access the inbox for any address you use.

    Spamgourmet lets you set up disposable emails in the form of:

    identifier.number.user@spamgourmet.com

    So, if you register as User123, you could invent the email address msenews.3.User123@spamgourmet.com to sign-up for the MSE newsletter. The number is the number of emails you will receive before the address self-destructs.

    Or you can use 0 for infinite messages (I think), and give out a unique email address to everything you sign up for. Then, if you get any spam, you can tell who leaked your address.

    Once you've signed up, you can just make up new addresses on the fly, and (until they self-destruct), it will forward mails to your usual email account.

    Or, for one-off use, Guerilla Mail creates disposable email addresses for you.

    Many thanks, Spam Gourmet looks like the system I saw previously, but it had a better name :D

    I will use that, thanks again
