Establish a web-based email address you can access
anywhere, anytime using your favorite browser. Most
services are advertisement supported and require
at times an extensive disclosure of personal information.
Keep in mind that your primary choice in usernames will
probably be taken on the more popular email services such
as Hotmail and Yahoo Mail. To avoid having to use obscure usernames, you may have to register with a smaller or newer email service such as PopMail or Postmark.
Please submit all free email services to the Free category. All other email and related sites should be submitted to the categories in Email.
There are many types of anonymous mail software. There are anonymous mailers that are designed to be secure against determined attacks, such as the Mixmaster network. There are also anonymous mail systems which are really for fun. These provide weak security guarantees but are often easier to use and more reliable. All these will be found here.
Anonymous communication is a two-edged sword. It benefits society by allowing whistleblowers to speak up freely, and by assisting those whose free speech rights are being infringed. It can also be used to conceal the origin of unethical activities such as spam and computer break-ins. Sites which promote these types of activities are not listed here.

Mailing lists are essentially emails that are distributed to more than one person. When you join a list, you become a "subscriber" to that list.
There are an estimated 200,000+ lists on the Internet. They cover as general subjects as "Small Business" to really specific things like "sushi-lovers." There is really something for everyone... and if you don't find one that suits your needs, you can always start your own!
Mailing lists can either be one-way or two-way.
Two-way lists include discussion lists. Discussion lists can be moderated or unmoderated. When you send an email to a discussion list, you are "posting" to the list. Moderated means a human screens each post before it gets distributed to the list. Unmoderated means posts are typically sent out immediately to other subscribers of the list. Some discussion lists are distributed in a post-by-post format. Some are distributed in only a digest format (i.e. a collection of multiple posts). Other lists offer both digest and post-by-post options.
One-way lists include announcement lists, e-zines and newsletters. Generally, one or more person is responsible for editing the list.
