Spamgourmet.com and mailinator.com are your friends.

Spamgourmet.com is free and, after signing up, it allows you to create
semi-throwaway addresses _ad hoc_.  You set the number of emails you
want to receive.  There are two modes -- a "no brainer" mode and a
"slightly more complicated" mode which allows you to tweak various
parameters.

Mailinator.com also allows you to create _ad hoc_ addresses -- it's
even simpler, you don't even need to sign up, but some sites are hip
to it and won't allow you to use it.
