I will. For my personal mail I have a catch-all account. When I sign up for paypal for example I use paypal@mypersonaldomain.com. If I start to get spam on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just start sending mail sent to that address into a black hole. Note: I'm not suggesting that Paypal sells address's.

Re: Single Use E-Mail?

Unfortunately this solution doesn't work on a large scale... How do you allow your entire user base to create additional aliases and then redirect them in the future.. I've though about requesting that they use a free e-mail service for this type of thing, but its not very corporate friendly. -
