I expect this already exists out there but I can not find it. It would be acceptable to have the winning coder simply install a ready made solution if it fits the requirements of this bid request. Like most internet users, I'm constantly asked for my email address to have access to just about anything on the net. Most of the time, I do not because I'm afraid I'll get spammed to death. I know about MailExpire and MyTrashMail, but both of these require a certain amount of setting up each time I need a new disposable email address. On MailExpire you need to authenticate your actual email address and on MyTrashMail you have to set up forwarding for each disposable email address or visit their site to pickup your mail. What I would like, is a system by which I can generate disposable email addresses on the fly. On any web form where I'm registering for something I simply enter a new "made-up" email address that previously never existed before but has a certain format and uses my domain. For example [url removed, login to view] (at) pactradewinds.com. When mail is received by my mail server for this address an alias is automatically created and the email is forwarded to my main mailbox. If I start getting spam to this email address I would only need to sent an email to this address with a subject containing DELETE followed by my password. This seems so much simpler than the procedure currently necessary for setting up disposable email addresses. If someone would like to develop this into a full-fledged subscription based service, I'm open to sugestions and likely could fund it to get it off the ground. There are of course some other issues, for commercial development since spammers could vary the second word in the email address and flood you with unwanted mail. However, I have some ideas on how to deal with that as well. Thanks in advance for your bids.
