Anti-Spam App for Your iPhone (and Your PC, Too)

There are numerous free websites that let you create temporary email addresses. Why would you want a temporary email address? There are a lot of reasons: Many websites and all online stores require a valid email address for registration or purchases. If you don't want to be on that website's permanent email list, using an email address that expires in a few hours or days can be a godsend. Some of these services will forward email that comes to your temporary address to your regular email address.

Here are some of the free, temporary email address services:

Mailinator
GuerillaMail
TempEMail

You can create a temporary email address directly from your smartphone, too. For the iPhone, MeltMail is a great app. Armed with MeltMail, you'll never have to give out your real email address again while living your mobile life.
