Mailinator.com is also a good choice for a spam drop box

What about when some web forms (like newsletter subscription pages) have a list of sites they don't allow, like mailinator.com?

So you have to give the site an actual working email address, how do you protect your account from spam?

Email Warden is an easy to install, non-obtrusive browser toolbar which generates email aliases aka disposable email addresses for you to use on web sites that require your email address to register.  Simply download and install Email Warden and it will make your email safer from those sites who give away your address.

Email Warden will monitor the web sites you go to and generate an aliased email address for you to enter on the web site (or you can click on the email box on the Email Warden toolbar to generate one).   Any emails sent back to the aliased email, will be automatically forward to the email address you entered into Email Warden?s setup.  Information about the site will be included on the email.  You can then send us feedback about that web site so that we can rate each site as to their spam risk.  The more users of Email Warden, the better our ratings become.  As you visit sites with high feedback ratings from our user base, the Email Warden toolbar ratings grid increases from green to red.  Red ratings mean the site is a definite email seller and it would be a good idea to steer clear.

Email Warden was created in the hopes that one day we can pinpoint all of the major spammers and let them be known to the the entire online community. Email Warden is free and will remain free for life!
