About spamgourmet
spamgourmet gives out disposable addresses that forward a set number of messages to a real inbox and then discard further mail without writing it to disk. It is free and describes itself as non-commercial. Registration needs a human check and a real forwarding address, which must be confirmed by a link. The FAQ says the service has run since late 2000 and links to a SourceForge project offering the software. Operators are not named.
