You can also use Mailinator[0] and their many other domains for throwaway email addresses. In fact, you can point your MX records to mail.mailinator.com for a custom domain without running a VPS.[1]

I have a google apps for business account (a former free one before they started charging).

I just create lots of alias emails associated with a domain name I used to use and still own. Works like a charm and they are always accepted.

I hear mailinator email addresses don't always get accepted by some services (though I haven't experienced this myself to verify).

True, but those services are quite limited and not that secure in that anybody who knows the email address can login to your account.

Not necessarily. They also give you a “gibberish” address to the account. So if I use “foobar” as my mailbox on mailinator, they will list an address like M8R-wk43th@mailinator too, that does not let people log in.
