You can also just add +domain to the local-part of your email address and do that without needing a disposable email service. Theoretically some sites may strip them out, but I doubt that many go to the trouble.

Please do note that there's quite a few services that do not recognize '+' as a valid character for who knows reasons. I don't know why though.

It does work on gmail, but is definitely not gmail specific. Used to do that trick on my college email account.

It works for many mail servers, including Gmail.

Also any Google Apps servers. Seems like a lot of extra work to look up a domain's MX records to figure out if it's safe to strip anything after + from their email address, which will only serve to annoy your users anyway.
