Disposable email service is for people who want to protect their online identity. It is a tool that allows users to create an on-the-spot email identity that provides anonymity and fights web inertia in one easy step.

If you give Web sites and new contacts a disposable email address instead of your real one, you can selectively disable a disposable address as soon as you get spam through it, but continue using all other aliases. Disposable email address services provide this basic functionality, but some have other neat features that make life with email less spam and more fun.

Although disposable addresses protect users from unwanted emails, fake identities can also pollute the user base of web publishers. Due to this concern, the option of employing a public disposable email address blacklist is available, as a means to prevent users from easily obtaining fake identities.
