I think it's a great idea! One suggestion I have - It was tough at first glance to tell that the box on the page was an input element. Maybe more of a text box look (no rounded corners) or maybe a button would help.

Also, since all addresses are @pepbot.com, this part should be optional. Right now, if I enter some random address without @pepbot.com I'm landing on the start page. Apart from that, I really like it! This will definitely become my default service for trash mails.

  Actually I haven't tested it but if you point your MX record to mail.pepbot.com you should be able to use your own domain name.

    Sounds cool. Will definitely try it. Maybe you should put that information somewhere on the site. However, I think that most people are going to use @pepbot.com. Therefore if you just type <something> without @pepbot.com, it should be assumed that people want check mails in <something>@pepbot.com. It should ad leas be automatically appended if there is no @<whatever>.

      I made a little change to the input box, let me know if it's more usable now! (and thanks for the feedback)

        Just found the time to check your improvements and respond... It's definitely better with the auto-complete and mail icon. However, it's still confusing to first-time users, as there is no hint that they have to add @pepbot.com. E.g. at http://trash-mail.com http://trash-mail.com you only hav to enter a random name and can see the mails. I showed pepbot to some colleagues earlier today and they all reacted the same: First confused as to why it wasn't working, but as I explained that they had to add @pepbot.com they all got along with it very well. So, my suggestion is still, to append @pepbot.com automatically if a user enters something without @... or to at least add a hint like "don't forget to add @pepbot.com". Nevertheless, these are minor improvements and I think it's already very usable.
