Posting your email address online, publicly, is usually not a good idea. Unfortuately, there are times when you just have to do it. One way to avoid the onslaught of spam is to use Read-Only email services. These are web services that allow you to create throw-away email address. You then visit their site to check the email address for incoming email. Two services we like are:

DodgeIt.com – DodgeIt is a great service. Just put any email name in front of “@dodgeit.com” and you’ve got an instant, read-only email address. For instance, simppletechblog@dodgeit.com. Then go to dodgeit.com and enter your email name into the field to check for any emails sent to that account.

PookMail.com – Pookmail works exactly the same as dodgeit. Think of an email name, put iit n front of “@pookmail.com” and check for mail in that account at the PookMail.com website.

These services can be great for registering at unknown websites, forums, blogs, or any untrusted place you need to post an email address.
