So, you want to create a bunch of fake Facebook accounts (or you want to subscribe to something shady, where they might sell your e-mail address). You could use the mail aliases feature, but you’re limited to five aliases. However, what if you created an e-mail list where you were the only subscriber? This can be accomplished at lists.case.edu. Here’s how:

  1. Go to lists.case.edu and log in if you need to.
  2. Under the lists@case logo, click on create list.
  3. For list name, type something simple, but unique. Most special characters are disallowed. Letters, numbers, and hyphens only!
  4. Select administrative alias.
  5. For title, type whatever you want.
  6. For topics, select ‘other’.
  7. You can leave the description blank if you choose.
  8. Submit your request for creation. It will be created automatically and take you to a status page.
  9. Under the list administration panel, click on subscribers.
  10. Type in your e-mail address and click ‘Add’.

That’s it. It might look like an involved process, but it only take about 90 seconds or less.

So, if some website is spamming your list address ‘dontspammeyoujerks@case.edu’ you can just unsubscribe yourself from that list and the mail will just go in to the ether.

Enjoy!
