Viewing: GentleSource Disposable Temporary E-mail

The Temporary E-mail script provides the user with disposable e-mail addresses which expire after a certain time. The user can read and reply to e-mails that are sent to the temporary e-mail address within the given time frame.

With a click on a button the user generates a new e-mail address. That address will be stored in the database along with its creation time. The e-mail address is assigned to the user by a session cookie.

The user then uses the e-mail for any purpose where an e-mail address is required. Most commonly that will be some kind of registration.

In the background the script checks continuously for arriving e-mails. Once an e-mail that has been sent to a generated e-mail address arrives, the script displays it.
