Mailnull: A mail alias service

THIS WEEK NetSpeak starts with a discussion on an e-mail service that enables you to create temporary mail aliases for your e-mail address.

As already mentioned in this column, your e-mail address becomes spam prone if it is made more public or posted on the Net. That is, the probability of more junk mail hitting your mailbox increases, if it is published on a site or if it is used in a mailing list. If your mail id is kept away from the public vicinity, your mailbox will be safer.
