Spamgourmet vs TempMailo

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.

TempMailo provides temporary email addresses for receiving sign-up messages, activation links, and verification codes without exposing a personal email address. Basic use does not require an account or personal details. Users can protect an inbox with a password, then restore it later using the email address and password. Reply Relay allows replies to incoming messages, but keeps the recipient fixed to the original sender. Each temporary email can send up to three replies a day, with a 15-minute cooldown, CAPTCHA, a 2,000-character message limit, and up to two supported attachments. Supported attachments can be downloaded when available. TempMailo is available on web, Android, iOS, and as a browser extension; its Android app and extensions are distributed through the listed app stores. The service costs nothing. Inbox data may be deleted after inactivity or for maintenance, and old messages are not guaranteed to remain. TempMailo is intended for everyday, low-risk tasks, not sensitive or permanent accounts.
