Spamgourmet
Spamgourmet is a free disposable-email service available on the web, with released code for self-hosting. It creates an alias automatically when the first message arrives, then forwards only a chosen number of messages to a protected address before discarding later mail. An address can allow up to 20 messages; the default is three when no number is supplied. Advanced mode provides trusted-sender controls, watchwords, prefixes, reply-address masking, and tools to view or edit addresses. Reply masking routes replies through Spamgourmet and keeps the protected return address hidden. The service filters only messages sent to disposable addresses, not mail sent directly to the protected address. Its privacy policy says messages are forwarded immediately or erased from volatile memory and that the code does not store email. Standard web and mail logs record IP addresses and may be reviewed for support or fraud investigations. The service is described as volunteer-run and non-commercial, with optional donations. Its Free plan costs nothing.
