You know when you want that free e-book or whatever, and using "name@mailinator.com" results in this annoying fail message?

Neat that there are more of these services popping up now.

Ever wonder what the mailinators of the world get out of providing their services?  They get to see what services people use.  I wonder if they mine that data at all.
Prayin' for a 20!

gcc thorin.c -pedantic -o Thorin
compile successful

I doubt there's any kind of "mining" of the email contents themselves.


I think it's a lot like ImageShack.us and similar, where the "gateway" to get to the service has ads, and a large enough % of those get clicked to justify a decent price for the advertisers.

Plus they probably have really really low storage/bandwidth costs considering the type of service they are providing.

Musta been a temporary outage; Mailinator is still around, it's just that a lot of mailing-list services have a ban-list of domains, it's on there usually cuz it is so well-known. But a bunch of the ones in the list above are "unknown" :)

I disagree, I don't think it's something people need to see every day forever.

If this is for personal reference, start using google bookmarks, xmarks, or the built in bookmark sync in Firefox or Chrome to track handy sites.

I just wanted to re-find this thread, cuz a handful of the sites listed were/are dead, and a few I hadn't even tried (just pasted from the webpage listed above). A lot of the mailing-list websites are starting to get a big list of the anon-email domains :(
