- leafac 10y agoHi bbcbasic, Author of Kill the Newsletter! here. First, thank you for interest, I’m glad the tool was useful to you. While of course Kill the Newsletter! does work as a throwaway email address, I ask you to please not use it for that. I fear this might result in @kill-the-newsletter.com email addresses ending up in blacklists. Or that the service grows in a way that I couldn’t support with my $0 budget :) Finally, I can’t make strong guarantees of privacy and security for incoming emails. The security is through obscurity of the generated email address and corresponding feed URL, which is not a strong model. This is generally fine for newsletters—whose contents are public anyway—but not so much for signing up for a private Twitter account. Also, there are other tools like https://www.mailinator.com/ https://www.mailinator.com/ designed specifically for this use case. You’re much better off with them! And, when you want to convert that newsletter into an RSS feed, I hope you consider Kill the Newsletter! an option :)
- bbcbasic 10y agoHi leafac, thanks for the response. I don't plan to use your service that way myself but thought I'd mention it so you are aware. I think its a great service for the original purpose though and I'll start using it for that.
