Only free 4 beta testers like me but I dont have
all capabilities of paid version.

|SpamGourmet.com uses the concept of adding a string to your username as

|hide the destination e-mail address but only for inbound mails. If you
|reply to a message that came through their alias, you are still sending that
|reply through your own mail server, not theirs. When replying to mails
|received through a Sneakemail alias, yes, they will go through your mail
|server but the destination for that reply is to Sneakemail which then strips
|out all the headers and adds Sneakemail-only headers so your mail looks like
|it originated from there. Services that hide you only for inbound mails are
|nothing more than forwarding services, like Bigfoot.com. They don't accept
|any e-mails from you, including any replies you make to those mails received
|through an alias or forwarding account.
Any email sent from RR addy using OE 1st goes to
Mailshell or Spamgourment server & has no mention of my
RR addy in header when the recipient gets them. Both
have ways of blocking addys composed by anyone but me.
I looked at Sneakemail briefly & thought it would
be time consuming to have to go to their site every
time I need a new addy. Both of mine require me to do
that only if I an sending the very 1st email for a new
addy- like when I click mail-to link.
I use Gmail to send email to TS addy's from
existing Mailshell addys cause u cant send attachments
from email composed at Mailshell (it does forward them
tho).
I think any of 3 does better job with spam than
any filtering can but can be challenging for some to
use.

Any advise is my attempt to contribute more than I have received but I can only assure you that it works on my PC. GOOD LUCK.
