I wonder why there are no email providers that offer an infinite number of aliases that cannot be associated with the primary address. Simply offering any aliases would soon fill out easy-to-remember addresses, but can't email providers offer a feature to add a randomly-generated address such as 098f6bcd4621d373cade4e832627b4f6@email.provider? This way, users can use a different email address on a different web service when registration, which would reveal no information about the user and drastically improve users' privacy. In addition, it is easy to track down which web service is at fault in the event of receiving spams via sold user data.
