TrashMail is a free disposable e-mail address service. The idea was to create temporary email addresses to protect against spam mail. It mainly forwards emails to a real hidden email address. It’s really easy to use: Create a new email address on trashmail.net. All mails to this address will be forwarded to your real email address for a number of times you can set up on the following form. When the limit is reached, the Trashmail.net email address will be automatically deleted. All following mails (like spam, newsletter, etc) will be rejected at Trashmail.net.
Features

- Open server API: TrashMail’s open server API allows everybody to write programs to use the TrashMail service. Currently the Mozilla Firefox AddOn uses TrashMail server API to create disposable email addresses.
- Address name reservation for 365 days: After a TrashMail address has been deleted, the TrashMail address name will be reserved for 365 days for the real email address from which it was used last time before it will be released for other real email addresses.
