Create a Disposable Address

Previous Versions > SmarterMail > Domain/User Configuration and Management
A Disposable Address is a randomly generated address, completely independent of a user’s current email address. This address acts as a timed alias, forwarding mail to the designated folder for however long specified. When the time limit has been reached, the address is no longer valid and mail will not reach the mailbox. This is useful when you only need a temporary sign up or don’t want to give out your email address and possibly get inundated with spam messages.

Applies to SmarterMail 15.x

Follow the steps below to create a Disposable Address:
 
  1. Log into SmarterMail as an end user or Domain Administrator.
