How about a catch all email address? If you own your own domain, you can typically set things up so that anything@yourdomain.com goes to you. It’s like the + trick, except without the plus.

Of course, you might get some spam from folks sending email to admin@yourdomain.com, but a good spam engine + procmail can deal with that. If you get a lot of email to, say, addressIgavetospammers@yourdomain.com, simply send that to /dev/null (via procmail–a program it’s worth getting somewhat familiar with).

Mike-

Great tips for helping people cut down on spam but I’d like to throw our hat in the ring for putting your email address in public places.

I’m a product manager for Boxbe.com, which offers (among other things) a public forwarding address that can be used to post anywhere on the net without fear of getting unwanted email. I use it on my personal blog as well as anywhere I post on the web.

We don’t use spam filtering at all, we think it’s an arms race that neither side will win. Instead, you whitelist your contacts and anyone not on that list has to either take a test or pay a fee.

We’re also integrated with Gmail if you use that as a primary account.

I’d be glad to tell you more if you are interested.

Cheers,

I like the plus addressing concept as well, but through testing a bunch of email providers, this seems to be a specific feature to gmail… hotmail, yahoo, bell canada, telus and many other providers are not accepting this address format.

A lot of online registration forms don’t recognize email addresses with plus-signs as valid – which has always made it hard to use as an organizing tool. I’ve been wary of using it for a public address, because I don’t know how well all of the webmail apps work with it.
Contactify is rather non-accessible, and a big hoop to make people jump through. If this is for business shouldn’t your address be as easy to reach as possible? A good spam filter will take care of the rest.

Gmail, I Love You – Don’t Let Me Down

I’ve been a Gmail fan long before I actually migrated to it. More than a year ago I wrote up a few tricks on how Gmail Can Boost Your Non-Gmail Productivity – this post still gets a lot of hits, although the my Gmail-usage evolved renders …

One thing to be careful with on the disposable email address services is that the shelf life of your email is very short – 15 minutes to an hour in some cases. I use Mailinator all the time to register for web sites when I need to get that one immediate email with the validation link – but I wouldn’t use it for any email I actually “needed” to receive.

For the most part, I’ve just quit worrying about it. Gmail does a good enough job with spam filtering that I simply don’t think about it anymore. I forward all my domain mail to Gmail, then forward my Gmail inbox back to an unpublished email account. 99% of the spam gets stopped at Gmail so I never have to deal with it.

I like the plus address idea. Presumably if you remember which plus address you use for each thing you sign up to, you can complain to them if you get spammed.
