      Thanks for seeing the value, after releasing this I got to know some services require session authentication, so without your password (or cookies) the bot cannot verify. I think this was a nice experiment and still usable for many services.

        You could let people pass the username/password in as part of the email tag, like: guerillaemail+myusername-mypassword@gmail.com As others have clarified, only for complete throwaway accounts obviously. I tested '-' and '!' and those characters appear acceptable as the delimiter. ':' gives a very strange error on send when using gmail.com. Also imagine you'd lose some letter casing along the way. Really just a fun and terrible idea!
