I have good experiences with GuerillaMail but I only used it for the above purposes.
I was going to ask about uses for temporary email addresses, you pretty much cover them. Some are yeah, I knew that duh... others good idea. I think it will especially more important when I get my own domain. I will be a bit more selective on who gets that address. I use gmail as a dump for those things now.
