The Architecture of Mailinator (2007)
Before I used mailinator I was using the + addressing feature at google. I just did username+site@ . The thing I found (at least back a fairly long time ago) - a lot of folks you don&#x27;t even think DO in fact sell your emails or get bought and sell your email, or maybe it&#x27;s their order processing or shopping cart software. I couldn&#x27;t fully figure it out.<p>It seems to matter a lot less now. I assume my email is out there, but google does a remarkable job filtering my inbox (paying customer if that makes a difference). And I&#x27;ve added DMARC &#x2F; SPF &#x2F; DKIM as well to my outbounds (went from thousands of forged outbound to basically none so presumably spammers are also watching some of these signals for whatever reason).<p>I always loved how fast mailinator was, and once I had that for all those random quick orders I used it. Now I&#x27;ve just started using amazon for just about everything - so less of a need for the mailinator emails.
