Default give spammers your gmail address

Whenever you signup for something online, you never know if they are a legit site or not and which ones will release your email to other companies... well there is a neat setup with gmail.com that allows you to modify your address so that either spammers cannot use it or if they do it is easy to filter out their messages.

Default Re: give spammers your gmail address

I still prefer to use jetable.org website. You create a temporary foward to your email and you decide how long you want it to last. This way, if you're unsure of what you're suscribing for, after the specified time... poof no more spam. ;)

I use a throwaway email address for websites that require a valid address for verification and I just want to check the site out:
