Firefox has a spectacular add-on called "Temporary Inbox" which creates a six-hour email address for all those places where you have to supply one in order to register.
I use it a lot to sign up, send a confirm email, and then in six hours, that box is closed. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/2
If you do not have Firefox, you can get TI from the website directly: www.temporaryinbox.com
This is a great feature for spam prevention because the site has no long-term email for you that it can pass on to another marketer.
Clearly, if you are signing up for something like your bank, you would use a real email address, but for all those sites that "require" an email address, just so you can play a game, or get a newspaper article, this tool is irreplacable.
