I thought I'd use mine in groups - but when I try and add it as an email address in groups I get the cutesy 'Ooops there's a problem' pop up from Yahoo. Apparently Yahoo doesn't recognise my address guard email address as an email address. This whole site sucks. This is a rubbish solution because you can’t actually USE the substitute address.

We used to be able to identify these addresses but no longer seem able to. Although I can see the possible use of the disposable addresses I think that this will clog up your servers much better if we can stop them getting to our prime email addresses at all and when it is your friends who give your email adress away even unintentionally the disposable email addess will not help!

Or when you order again, you'll have to keep changing email addresses (if you remember to do that when placing another order), and also Amazon on-click thingy won't work fi they have a deleted email address. Sounds like a a pain to me, but hey! js So, what happens if Widgets.com want to send you important stuff about your order?

Try tiscali if you really want to see spam in bulk “Of all the email providers that I now use, Yahoo is far and away the least protected against spammers.
