Trick or Treat? -- Treat: 10 free Email Forwards for you

Once upon a time, there was a web site operator who had lots of unused email accounts left.....

We convinced the operator to give some away for free.

No trick, just a simple treat.

Call it Privacy Candy.

What you get:
One (1) email address with automatic forwarding, per person or entity. No mailbox to log in to, just forwarding.

What you need to do to get it:
Send an email to the address at the top of this page.
In the email, explain why you want a forwarding address.
This is not first come, first served. You need to state a prupose.
Be nice, be specific. This is not craigslist at two in the morning, okay?

What happens next:
We act as an intermediary only, so your request goes to the web site operators. The operators will get in touch with you or not.

About setting up a forward, and about your privacy:
Every email sent to the forwarding address will be forwarded to a recipient email address. If the site operators accepts your request, you will be asked to provide the address to forward to. This can be any valid email address.

Can the recipient reply to me?
The site operators will, at their discretion, enable a two way by setting up a return forward for you and your communication partner.

How safe are my data?
A forwarding email adds an additional level of obscurity to your communication.
The operators of the site are as trustworthy as they come. Ask them.
If they do not select you, your request and your email address will be deleted.
You will not hear from the again.

Why are they offering this again?
According to them, the grand idea is to get other web site operators to do the same. If you own a site and have unused email addresses, be generous. Start with friends and family if offering them to strangers worries you.

This is really free?
Free, as in no money, zip.
