| Q- |
What is this? |
| A- |
We are a different kind of E-mail service. The biggest difference is that you don't need to sign up, and any @Fornow.eu E-mail name you can think of already exists on our system. Do you want frank, peter, bill or
? You got it. They exist when you create them and they are just waiting for you to check your inbox. |

|
| Q- |
Why? |
| A- |
Disposable E-mail addressing (DEA), in essence, sets up a different, unique DEA for every sender/recipient combination. It operates most usefully in situations where someone may sell or release an E-mail address to spam lists or to other unscrupulous entities. The most common situations of this type involve online registrations for things such as discussion groups, bulletin boards, chat rooms, online shopping, and file hosting services. In a time when E-mail spam has become an everyday nuisance, and when identity theft threatens, DEAs can serve as a convenient tool for keeping network users safe and sane. |

|
| Q- |
Whats the advantages over traditional E-mail? |
| A- |
Ideally, owners share a DEA once with each contact/entity. Thus, if the DEA should ever change, only one entity needs to be updated. By comparison, the traditional practice of giving the same E-mail address to multiple recipients means that if that address subsequently changes, many legitimate recipients will need to receive notification of the change and to update their records - a potentially tedious process.
Additionally, because access has been narrowed down to one contact, that entity then becomes the most likely point of compromise for any spam that account receives. This allows users to determine firsthand the trustworthiness of the people they share their DEAs with. "Safe" DEAs that have not been abused can be forwarded to a real E-mail account, while messages sent to "compromised" DEAs can be routed to a special folder, sent to the trash, held for spam filtering, or returned undeliverable if the DEA is deleted outright. |
