How Temporary Emails Help Prevent Spam

Spam thrives when your address circulates. Temporary emails break that cycle by shortening exposure.

The Anti-Spam Mechanics

  • Limited Lifespan: Addresses and messages expire—spammers lose targets.
  • No Historical Trail: No long-term link between you and the address.
  • Compartmentalization: Each new sign-up can use a fresh temp address.

Complementary Anti-Spam Tips

  • Be cautious with newsletter checkboxes.
  • Don’t reuse the same address across unrelated sites.
  • Report phishing to your primary provider.

FAQs

Can spammers still send to a temp address?

Yes, but it expires—so you don’t carry that spam into your real inbox.

Is temp email a spam filter?

It’s spam avoidance rather than filtering—use both for best results.
