Welcome!

As far as disposable e-mail addresses that don't need a phone number to send a confirmation number to first, I like GMX.com and Protonmail.com

^^ As far as scambaiting goes:

1st rule: BAIT SAFE - If your Outlook.com is connected with your RL (Real Life) details then refrain from using this service.

As user Rynok mentioned: GMX.com and Protonmail.com are good alternatives.

Welcome by the way :-)

Welcome to Eater!!

Just to add to what Bob already said, from the Help forum:
IP Worries
The major free email providers (Gmail, Outlook/Hotmail/Live, Yahoo) all strip your IP address from emails when you use their web interface. Using a phone or email client (like Outlook or Thunderbird) does allow the IP to "leak through." However, as much as we preach baiting safely, unless you are using a static server, it is unlikely your IP points directly to your address. Most lads couldn't figure out your IP if you gave it to them. But, there are always exceptions. Set up your account(s) with what is comfortable.
