Disposable E-mail
Disposable e-mail helps you eliminate spam by giving sites that require registration a pseudo-fake email address.
There are a couple of basic different strategies for disposable e-mail,
1. the disposable e-mail account lasts for specific amount of time and you can use to complete a registration process or correspond with the site.
2. the disposable e-mail accounts forwards correspondence to your real email, and if spam starts getting forwarded you delete the disposable one (and you know who sells to spammers).
Many of them allow you to pick the address you provide, so you can do something like dalePalmGearRegistration@"Whatever the disposable email site uses"
Here is a pretty good list of sites that provide disposable e-mail accounts
Information like this will certainly be part of any Internet-safety unit I teach to students.
