Suggestion: time-limited temporarty addresses

Postby kvas » Mon Nov 05, 2007 2:49 pm

Hi,

my suggestion is adding a feature so that user could limit not the number of incoming messages but time that given temporary address is valid.
Proposed format is:

someword.12h.user@spamgourmet.com
would make address valid for 12 hours

someword.3d.user@spamgourmet.com
would make address valid for 3 days

someword.3w.user@spamgourmet.com
would make address valid for 3 weeks

but of course you could make it differently.
regards,
Kvas

I believe we already have date-expiring disposable addresses with the format word.YYYY-MM-DD.user@spamgourmet.com. Unless this has been pulled?

ups... indeed.

So my new suggestion is: add the descritpion to FAQ; as now it is described only in News section. :-)

Could someone please confirm if date-expiring disposable addresses with the format syskoll gave above are working? I am a new user of spamgourmet, and a date-expiring address would be very helpful.

(Btw, how do you quote previous messages in this forum? I've used copy and paste, but I'm guessing that there's more to it.)

Thanks!

You hit the "quote" button in the message you want to quote.

I'm looking into it.

UTC is used for the current date. Should still be working.

but it works quietly, with no real user interface :) -- the website just shows zero messages remaining, but the address keeps working up to the expire date. There's also no way to change the expire date.

But this is pretty much like other date-expiring systems (except with auto-create) - just a little disconcerting when you're used to seeing it all laid out on the website.

Jetable.org looks like it's back up - I think it was down for awhile. Mailexpire.com has been back up for years now -- it's actually months older than spamgourmet, but I didn't know about it until some time after I put spamgourmet up.
