Spam Gourmet

I just hate spam, like you and millions of other email users. Spam invades your mail box and shatters the enthusiam with which you open your inbox when a new mail arrives. Wouldn't it be good if you had an email id that can eat up the spam. Wouldn't it be even better if you did not have to explicitly go through the hassels of creating one just for spam and then abandon it. That is exactly why spam gourmet was invented.
How to use Spam Gourmet
Step 1 > Register at SpamGourmet.com by giving your protected mail id and choosing a username.
Ex: jeev.kr@gmail.com username: jeevan_spam_eater
Step 2 > I registered at MoneyControl.com ( A notorious spammer ) with the email id: moneyctrl.5.jeevan_spam_eater@spamgourmet.com. This tells SpamGourmet to forward only the first five mails recieved at the above address to my protected mail id, the rest can be thrown away.
Step 3 > (Relieved) Sigh!


PS: For the paranoid-> moneyctrl.5.jeevan_spam_eater@spamgourmet.com is not entirely fool-proof. Somebody who knows how spam gourmet works can abuse it. Don't worry, SpamGourmet has an advanced mode with which you can couter this.
