Developer’s Description

By Vegard Andreas Larsen

Create temporary e-mail addresses.

Generates temporary e-mail addresses for all those pesky online registration forms using the free spamavert.com service. Highly customizable. Allows you to right-click any text field on any website, and paste a free, one-time e-mail address from Spamavert.com. These disposable addresses comes in handy when registering on websites you don't trust. The extension also opens the Spamavert.com mailbox and waits for new e-mail for the address it generated for you.

New in this version, the plugin also remembers the addresses it has generated, and automatically subscribes to their RSS feeds. You can at any time go back and view the e-mails for that address, and see if the company abused the e-mail address you gave them. You can also specify a prefix for all the e-mail addresses the extension generates for you.

Pros
None at all!!
Cons
Generates temporary e-mail addresses for all those pesky online registration forms These pesky forms it speaks of are there for a valid reason. I have just banned a well known spammer trying to gain access to my vbulletin forum using this. Disposable emails? Easy to spot and ban!!
Summary
Just another method of trying to gain access to sites but once you ban this: @spamavert.com you block it!! Have to say it was too easy and pointless!!

Pros
Easy to use.
Cons
1: After desinstalling, I noticed dns requests to spamavert.com. I deleted with the help of findstr all occurences to spamavert in my system. That worked, btw.<p>2: Who pays for for the bandwidth, the storage, the domain? I think that is relevant but they don't tell you.<p>3: The more popular this becomes the less useful it will be.
