Spam fighting with bogus lead gen nowdays?
thinkbohemian: I have a little website that i've been working on http://www.whyspam.me  its a more advanced form of mailinator. It gives you a disposable email that forwards to your inbox. It's free, it never expires, so it is possible to never ever give out your real email to another website again.In addition we track the disposable emails that get deleted by users, and we ask each user to generate a new email for every new website. That way we can track the websites that spam.Anytime the word "malicious" and fighting come up in the same sentence, i get a little worried. Our goal is to give the user complete control over their inbox, the problem with having a few gmail, hotmail, whatever accounts is that if you sign up for a few semi-important things (like HN!!) if you delete the email you delete your "forgot password" functionality. Also if you give your web address to someone and they choose to sell it, you have no way of tracking it, or stopping the additional spam sources. I'm trying to fix that with my service.While it might not be for everyone, its extremely useful to me...so i'll keep improving it and making it a service I want to use. These spammers essentially make money off of your data (email), so why don't we put some data back in your hands, like a listing of the source of spam!Let me know if you have any comments about the site, its a fully functional beta...but not quite ready for a "Ask HN: Review my site". I'm also open to new anti-spam technologies techniques or methods (preferably non-malicious), so feel free to leave a reply.
