MailMist.com is a receive-only email service, which in fact is an email alias provider. To start using the service, just toss an email to manage@mailmist.com with the subject line<p><pre><code> Subject: alias alias_name_you_want </code></pre> and that's all. Well, of course some verification process will be run, but no big deal.<p>MailMist is a similar approach to privacy problem as the throw away email services, or registering a valid email service provider for a throw away account with a few advantages:<p>- Your mailbox(alias name) is yours, you don't share it with anybody<p>- You can use it anytime with any service, for it's not a throw away mail, it will not be rejected by the services you use<p>- You can create your mailbox name in seconds, without struggling with forms and captchas. You don't have to setpasswords, or secret questions either.<p>- We don't allow any mail directly pass through. Spammers are filtered out using simple solutions such as SPF. You'll be receiving only(mostly) the mails you're supposed to receive.<p>- You can get rid of your aliases any time you want. Any email hitting those aliases will be dropped, without bothering you.<p>MailMist is way beta for now and any suggestions will be very welcomed.<p>Thanks

I like it!<p>Until I came across this I have always used Mailinator, which did the job. This is perhaps even easier as I can just have a single throw away email linked - and use it until I am sick of the spam.<p>Nice!<p>--<p>Edit: By the way, I think the 2nd example is incorrect, should it read: `Subject: alias jason`
