But really most of the time if I expect that I would need to receive some email from the service in the future I use a subdomain in my own domain, or a subdomain address of a Fastmail alias, so I can receive the email were I receive all other mail and can reliably filter the received mail.
The problem is that it can't be a throwaway address, because Hotmail infuriatingly keeps popping up every few months to demand whether it's still viable.
