'''Mailinator''' is a free [[disposable email address]] service created in 2003 by [[Paul Tyma]]. The idea is to let a user invent a new [[email address]] on-the-fly, whenever needed, for instance, while filling in a form on a [[Web site]].

Emails may be viewed in unmodified "text view" mode. Mailboxes may also be accessed directly via the [[Uniform resource locator|URL]], as in 
<nowiki>http://MailboxName.mailinator.com.</nowiki>

==Potential problems==
A few sites might block the sending of email to the Mailinator domain, or services similar to it, but Mailinator provides alternate domains to work around this ban in most cases. In addition, a domain owner can set up the [[MX record]]s to point to the Mailinator server, in effect adding an unlimited number of domains for which Mailinator will receive messages. This is expressly allowed by Mailinator.<ref name=OPM />
