Instant disposable Gmail addresses
Let’s say you need to sign up for a mailing list that interests you, but you’re afraid spammers might get your address. We’ll call the list “exoticflowers”.
Sign up with the list using the address “johndoe+exoticflowers@gmail.com”. Email to that address will still come to your “johndoe@gmail.com” address even though the “To:” will include that “+exoticflowers” in it.
Then set up Gmail filters to shuttle that +exoticflowers email past the inbox to a specific label.

This is not a good idea. This “+” notation is well known, and spammers can easily remove everything after the “+” and gain your regular mailadress. using trashmail or a similar Provider is easier and safer!

Thomas makes a very important (and actually quite obvious point).
Just wanted to recommend another ‘disposable’ email service — SPAMGOURMET.COM — amazing features (automatic disposable, refillable, whitelist of senders,etc)..and free!

Another amazing tool is sneakemail.com .. complex interface, but if you figure out how you can auto-create disposable addresses. $2/6 mos.
