If you could make it an outlook / exchange plug-in - that would be huge - but I'd bet a lot more work. thanks for the good years! |

Spamgourmet is a good alternative
I have been using spamgourmet.com to replace emailias.com. I have been using it now for almost two months. In some regards it is simpler than emailias was. For instance you do not have to create an address prior to using it. You just put a prefix to the front of a spamgourmet base address and you will automatically establish that address, and it will be forwarded to your real address.
These addresses are limited to 20 emails before they are "eaten", but you can change it to a trusted address which doesn't have a limit. The reply masking works well. It is also very easy to send an email from one of the disposable addresses. Spamgourmet has multiple domains from which to choose. In fact more than emailias had. |

Just saw about trashmail.net. It has a Firefox extension and looks promising. The Plus version is $14.99 a year. As far as I can, the one drawback is it doesn't allow forwarding to multiple real email addresses.

Just read their forum and trashmail.net does allow for multiple real addresses. I think I'll join for a year.

Not convinced about Spamex
I really miss Emailias. Nothing comes near to their (Paul's) level of trust and service. Reading throught this topic, I got hope that Spamex might be the next best thing, but... here some things that (always) put me off:

1) Payment methods are under My Account, ---> Profile---> Service Level. This is too hidden for sure.
2)That has been a problem. They stopped disabling accounts due to a software glitch where paid subscribers were blocked. The user forum does not exist anymore. With all that said, Spamex provides usable DEA's that allow you to get email for a long time and then if it gets spammed, you can shut it off or delete it. They also have a blacklist feature to screen out spammers one by one, which I should have used to keep my cooler addresses alive, instead of deactivating them. Other services like spamgourmet provide addresses which are too darn temporary and moreover, often are not ACCEPTED by the places you want to use them. Spamgourmet, trashmail, etc sound like fake spam-eating addresses and people on the web know this. Say you download trial shareware and they want your address. You give them spamgourmet and they don't accept it. Now you have to use a real address. Or say I sign up for a strange forum and use a spam chomping address. I go back months later, and I've forgotten my password. They will send it to me, but the address is gone. Oops. Recent hacking of a major email service Epsilon has put my real email out there, anyway. You just don't think sites like Tivo.com will misuse your info. Another major retail site also lost my real address through the same breach. Spamassassin running on my mail server and I are becoming good friends. |

In my opinion, the Emailias of under former owner Paul MacIntosh, was and will remain the only honest and trustworthy service ever provided. I think it is not unreasonable to expect that all other services will cease, sooner or later, and more likely under suspicious circumstances than not. One must consider what those people might do with your personal information (even 'secure' details) residing on those servers, when they pull the plug. Correct answer: you will never know! So I've made up my mind. I will never ever use a service like Spamex, Trashmail and the likes, simply because I lost faith in the people behind them. I rather put up with the spamfilter in hotmail etc, than gambling with my personal details. Paranoid inclined people might even start to think that the spammers made those services, not only to collect data, but also to discourage the future use of such services... theme from Twilight Zone... :-) |

Bulc Club
Been following this thread for a while now and never really had anything to add before.
I've used a number of services (including Emailias and SpamGourmet) to protect my privacy and inhibit spam. The one I've been using lately is called Bulc Club (www.bulc.club). It's entirely free, has unlimited forwarders, and uses Member Rating for mail filtering -- which operates kinda like Facebook's "Like" button, but blocks messages and increases the spam score instead. I haven't really explored much of the advanced features since I never really log-in. I think you can block emails individually by sender address, and also block whole mailserver domains. They have plugins for Chrome and Firefox and allow you to create disposable, single-use emails too, but I haven't used those. Hope this helps someone. |

Man . . .
That's sad. They were one of the good email providers. I wonder if Yahoo is going to break off into something else now that it's totally screwed.
