Stopping Spam

I don’t know about you, but I hate spam!

Recently I came across a great site that helps slow down the flow - it is called tempemail. It is an anonymous, free email service that you can use to receive email.  Basically, all you do is to pick a name @ tempemail.net and send email to it. Within about 15 minutes, you can go to the site and enter the name and check for the email!

Now if you haven’t worked it out yet how it can slow down spam then this is the easy part. Whenever you need to use an email address to subscribe to a website, rather than use your own address pick something at tempemail. You have a reliable method of getting an email so you can get the required info, but by not giving out your own address, you have already eliminated yet another source of someone getting your email address and potentially getting spam.

Simple and effective, let the spam get sent to tempemail. As there is no connection between your email address and one you choose to use you have already stopped the spam.
