Or you can use [email protected] and [email protected] and only forward *[email protected].

I have learned to keep a personal e-mail address for friends & somewhat trusted people, but never businesses. Businesses (and all government offices, kids' school,...) get their one-time address. If spammers somehow get to it, it is much easier to cut them off, and I also know who leaked the address to them.

Of course, http://www.mailcatch.com/ rules for those one-time "no, I will not let you spam me" registrations.

I actually haven't gotten any spam through my catch-all emails. Hopefully it stays that way.

I use a completely different domain than the one that's publicly associated with me though. Maybe that helps.

If you host your own domain you'll likely need spam filtering for abuse@ or at least postmaster@ (or ignore RFCs, like most unfortunately do..).

I forward abuse@, security@, postmaster@, hostmaster@, webmaster@, info@ and dns-admin@ for my main domain, and actually mostly don't get any spam to any of them except from dns-admin@, which I have listed as contact in WHOIS for some of my domains.

what kind of accounts do you use throwaway mail services for? the use case where NBox would be useful for me is sites I don't use often, i.e. a clothing site or online video game store. but i wouldn't trust those to a throwaway email
