Avoid Spams - Mask Your Email ID

Although forums and sites having discussion panels are useful but they have one drawback i.e. if you publish or give away your email address; you will become a victim of spammers who flank on your email address and your inbox is filled with junk emails. Although you can get rid of these by using Junk filters that most of the emails providers provide inbuilt. However, still you cannot say that you are 100% safe.

Nowadays people suggest to use images or write your email in the following format name [at] domain [dot] com in forums or websites to prevent spam.

However there is anohter way to get your email masked and this solution is provided by tinymail.me.

This site will create a masked identity for your email address that you will be able to publish/give away at internet when any site or forum demands so. In actual you will be given three ways, HTML code, BB code and a link. You can use it as and when required. In actual people will see only a part of your email address and then the after @ part. For example entering talha.moin@hotmail.com will give you t...@hotmail.com as a masked identity.

I think one should give a try to it. Although the process is a bit hasslesome yet it gives you a relief from the spammers.
