Use Temporary E-mail Addresses

Disposable e-mail addressing (DEA) refers to an alternate method of sharing and managing e-mail addressing. The purpose of DEA is to set up a new, unique e-mail address for every contact or entity, making a point-to-point connection between the sender and the recipient. Subsequently, if anyone compromises the address or utilizes it in connection with any e-mail abuse, the address-owner can easily cancel (or "dispose" of) it without affecting any other contact. Following the cancellation or a substitution of a disposable e-mail address, the (ex-) owner need notify no more than one person/contact of the change.

Many websites require you to provide your email address without the guarantee that they would not send out spam. There is the risk of getting spam from such kind of websites. One way of mitigating the risks is to provide an email id -which forwards email to a real account, which is disposable and can be abandoned. There are a number of services that provide disposable address forwarding Addresses could be manually disabled, expire after a given time interval or bite the dust after a few messages are forwarded. Site owners that which fail to appropriately treat addresses they have gathered have found themselves in legal jeopardy because of the ability of the users who possess disposable email address trace back which website passed on their email without permission.
