Ever run into one of those websites that requires you to enter your email address before they’ll let you download what they’re giving away? Very annoying, especially when they send you something to address to confirm that it’s real before they let you proceed. Most people keep junk email addresses that they use specifically for these situations, lest their real inboxes be deluged with spam.
Thankfully, now there is a simplar solution. For those of you who follow diggnation, I’m sure you already know about this. You can just sign up with these sites using the email address anything@dodgeit.com (where anything is replaced with something random you make up) and you will still be able to receive the email. No setup is necessary, you can just go to the dodgeit website (http://www.dodgeit.com/), enter the email address you made up, and check the mail. No password, no setup, nothing. Just check the mail. All email addresses are valid ad dodgeit.com, and anyone can log in and check it. The downside of this, of course, is that that anyone could view your confirmation email, so don’t use this system if you’re entering person information in a form. On the whole, though, a very convenient system.
Spam Gourmet FTW!
That’s another good option. Thanks Carrino!
