Spamgourmet - Applications and Issues

Applications and Issues

Spamgourmet provides disposable addresses which are also customizable according to user preference. Typical applications for such addresses are forums, software registrations, newsletters and the like. Due to the configurable email addresses, spamgourmet addresses are also useful for routine use when personal email addresses are requested, e.g., by businesses and others with whom the user is circumspect about providing a personal address.

If the user replies to a message received through spamgourmet, the user's "from" address is that spamgourmet address. Spamgourmet also permits users to send email from a spamgourmet address to a recipient by using a code obtained from spamgourmet's web interface, under "send a message from one of your disposable addresses"

As with other customizable or disposable address services, it is possible to identify who provided address information used for email abuse or spam. This permits the user to terminate email access upon receipt of non-transactional email from a business or other email abuse.
