Issue Summary

I'm not sure if this is doable, but would it be possible to impliment a 3rd contact method similar to craigslist with a randomly generated email address that forwards to the email listed?

I'm not precisely sure how this should look like and if it's doable.

As far as what it would look like. When I input my email address in the field, I would be assigned a temporary emailaddress. Something similar to.... drupalemail34820@drupal.com or something.

As far as behind the scene, there would have to be some sort of interface with a mail server I think. The address would need to be setup as a forwarding address to users email address.

I am actually working on a site now where I need that exact functionality. I will stay tuned for sure.
