Use a fake name where it says "name"?

I can't really tell what your asking. Do you just want a alternate email address to give to potential mailing list or something more complex then that?

An email alias is when you set up a fake email that will redirect to a real email.

So I make a nebetsu@example.com. When someone emails nebetsu@example.com, it goes to my nebetsu@gmail.com.

If you just want extra email addresses to use at different places to avoid spam, Sneakemail is a good service. That service provides random addresses that redirect to your normal address. If you recive a message through Sneakemail, the from address is rewritten so that replies pass back through Sneakemail, hiding your real address.

Well, then, you're screwed. I'm not aware of any free way to get your own domain name, which you HAVE to have if you want a fully customized e-mail address.

There are probably free email redirection services like that, but I really doubt you'll find one that lets you pick the domain. (If you do though, PM me. I bet xxx@nospam.com gets automatically dropped from a lot of mailing lists. )

well there's two things:

1. Buy hosting which usually comes with an email service (you wanted hosting anyway, right?)
2. Register a domain and attatch it to your IP address. Then set up a mail server, like sendmail.

I hate being poor. Right now my money is going into getting some cables to turn my XBox into a Linux Computer.

Which, aside from being a complete waste of money and stupid, makes no sense.

You're stupider than I thought.

I got it for free because it's broken. I'm getting another one for free because it's broken as well. One has a broken HDD, the other has a broken DVD-Rom drive. All I gotta do is swap.

So getting a 733 MHz computer is costing me about 30 bucks for cables. I think it's smart and not stupid.

Your putting Linux on it. Linux is good for a real computer. XBox is capable, but not worth it. Put Windows on it.

Why is it so important to have an email with something dfferent on the end anyway?

You cant put a decent version of Windows on an xbox because Windows isnt open-source. Linux IS open source, so they can edit it to work on an XBox.

It's important that I have something different on the end because it's cool.

Seriously though, my friend has Windows on his XBox, he didnt have to mod windows to work on it, he modded the xbox to work with windows.
