> Emails do not get saved. No logs. 100% private on swiss servers
I appreciate your effort to keep privacy, but I think it's more realistic something like the old policy of http://www.mailinator.com privacy:
> So if the government issued a subpeona to Mailinator to divulge emails or logs, you'd rat me out?
Holy crap, yes. I'm not going to jail for you, I have a boyish face and very (very) supple skin.
> Here's the short version- Mailinator/Outscheme/Paul does not keep/store/archive ANY emails in the system beyond the time that they live in the box normally. In other words, if I can get an email, that means you can too simply by checking the box. We have had law enforcement already approach us to retrieve emails - it simply can't be done. There is nothing to retrieve once the email is deleted.
I prefer to blackhole everything in a Zoho account with the catchall[1] feature turned on, so I can just type random crap as the username when signing up like:
asdferhgg@generic.domain
The trick is to keep that domain renewed for as long as you're alive so nobody can take new ownership and pwn all your accounts as a result.
I do that too! (hence the service this service is build on). I even have a domain especially for stuff that is going to spam me.
Back when i was still a kid in school without access to a credit card i used a lot such services as the one above. Especially forwarding ones, as i like to have any details in my central inbox. I realize that the majority of the HN crowd has found better solutions meanwhile ;)
