Latest Improvements to Guerrilla Mail
We have made the following improvements to Guerrilla Mail in the last few days
- You can now get a Guerrilla Mail address without the need to to visit Guerrilla Mail first! When you are on a form which requires an email address, simply think of a random email address for @guerrillamailblock.com, use it, then check it later. (To check your email, visit Guerrilla Mail and set to the address that you thought of, then refresh so that the system will load your email form the quarantine. Emails are held in the quarantine for 1 hour). The old way still works too.
- Fixed bugs with character encoding so that non-English emails display correctly. (Previously, the emails were not correctly converted to UTF-8)
- Made changes to our server back-end so that emails are placed directly in to the database as they arrive. (Before they were placed on disk by the mail server and then fetched using POP, which was very inefficient)
- Added a simple AJAX list to the home page showing the subjects of the latest emails received and other statistics. Now you can see what Guerrilla Mail is up to in real time!
We welcome your feedback on these features.

Testing some ad placements
We are testing some ad placements on GM – hopefully we can find a sweet-spot for the most optimal placements, and strike a balance between having as little ads as possible, while keeping the earnings healthy enough to keep this site going.
Hardware Upgrade
Guerrilla Mail is undergoing a weapons upgrade this week, and it may experience some down time or other unexpected things happening for a short time. We apologize for any inconvenience caused as we are transferring Guerrilla Mail on to a new set of hardware to improve capacity. Thanks for your understanding.
Details: We’re going to add a hardware based spam filter (MailFoundry), and also a Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) infront of the server. Hopefully this should decrease the load on the mail server and make the service more stable.
We need your feedback!
As most of you have seen during the last month, we’ve been looking for a buyer to take over the GuerrillaMail project. As we didn’t find a buyer with only good intentions, we decided to invest more time in this project ourselves.
Unfortunately the costs of operating this website have grown significantly over the years. We’re unable to provide this service if we don’t come up with a source of income.
We’re not about making loads of money, but hope to earn just enough to make it worthwhile for us to spending the time and effort in keeping this website running.
At this moment we are looking in the options to provide a premium service for our best-users.
- Secure SSL connection!
Twitter-notifications (DM for new messages)
API integration
IM integration
No Ads
Multiple temporary e-mail addresses at same moment
Expire e-mail addresses as you like
etc.. (please comment with suggestions!)
Sounds great right? Please help us by giving an answer to our poll below. Thanks in advance!

Please Help us Fix Problems
Last couple of weeks we kept getting messages about problems regarding HTML messages.
We do feel to keep this service the way it is now. All content in HMTL messages is skipped out and we only display the text in the messages. This is due to security reasons on our backend. Sorry for that!
But one issue we are not able to replicate is the problem regarding the special characters like : “ä, ö, ü” etc.
Please help us to fix problems by sending screenshots of errors you think we should work on. Please do only send images in jpg or png format. You can mail us at: mailguerrillamail@gmail.com
As you may have noticed this website is listed for sale on sedo. Feel free to contact us if you’re interested.
However, we keep working on this site and improving the service for you!
We’re proud to have created 1,285,341 tempory accounts so far. We received: 24,207,542 emails of whom only 942,925 were legitimed messages. So we’ve receive 23,263,252 unsollicited mail since then!
Almost 25 million emails received! That’s a huge amount of spam catched.
Don’t see Full Message? Read This!
We’ve received some complaints during the last couple of weeks.
Problems appeared where users were not able to see the Full Message.
Just to make sure everyone knows how to fix this, we decided to post a message about this ‘problem’.
Please click on the “Show” link to see the Full email!
We will do an interface update in the next couple of days to make sure it’s more easy to understand the system in the future.
Some mailserver problems (Solved!)
There seems to be some problems for receiving mails, we are investigating these problems right now.
We’ll keep you updated!
Update:
We switched domains, all new mail will be sent to our new .org domain. We previously used .com domain.
You won’t be able to receive mail at the .com anymore.
We had to do this because we received so much spam on the old domain.
