I use http://www.spamex.com for disposable e-mail addresses -- not free, but nominal fee ($20/yr for mid-tier account, I believe).

It has the added benefit of providing a bookmark that will automatically detect the URL that you're currently on when you click the bookmark (which pops up a small window) and once you log in to their service it automatically searches your disposable e-mail addresses for the one you created for that site. It also provides meta-data for each address (username/password information, notes, etc.) and the ability to have each individual address act as a whitelist/blacklist address. This service is great because once you start using it if you get spam through one of the e-mail addresses you can actually trace back to what site sold your address (assuming you create an address for every site you sign up to).

I've been using it for years, it's great stuff.
