Show HN: Disposable email accounts at Boog.me

1 points by Kilimanjaro ↗ HN
This is my latest weekend project. Please feel free to register everywhere you want using a disposable email account from Boog.me and let me know any issues you may encounter. The whole project was cooked up and deployed in less than 24 hours using AppEngine. Let's see it they can handle millions of spam emails a day ;-)

Er... how to create a disposable email account to start?
Kilimanjaro
You don't, you just give one like iworkforthem@boog.me at any pesky website and go to boog.me to check for the email you need. Then never again bother to check all the spam they will send you to the disposable email instead of your real inbox.

Nice.

Questions:

* How do you manage attachments?

* Are mails going to expire somehow or you need to manually delete them?

Kilimanjaro
Emails expire automatically after 24 hours. A cron job does the cleaning every day at midnight.

Attachments are not allowed at the moment, don't want viruses to spread because of boog.me, for quick registrations and stuff like that attachments are not an issue most of the time. I'll try to determine the best way to allow certain types of attachments in v2.
