Comment Auto generated temp addresses (Score 1) 252
I created a simple script to generate temporary email addresses that I can use to post on the web.
I send an email to temp_address@mydomain.com and qmail sends me an email address that forwards mail to my normal address in a form like
expire_07day_20040618_103454fqcv@mydomain.com
my crontab removes the aliases that are older than 7 days.
Very convenient and works nicely.
Coincidentally, Yahoo mail added this type of feature at about the same time I did.
