Disposable mail that cannot send.

Take a numbered address, read what arrives, throw it away. In a test suite that is three requests, and one of them waits for you.

Three requests

Ask for an address

No account, no key. The response carries the address and the token that is the only way to read it.
```
$ curl -X POST https://api.vanish.sx/v1/inboxes
{"inbox":{"address":"quiet-otter-k51724@mailbox.example", …}}
```
Wait for mail

The request blocks until something lands, up to 120 seconds, then returns it. A timeout is 204, not an error.
```
$ curl https://api.vanish.sx/v1/inboxes/wait?timeout=60
```
Read it, and stop caring

Body, links and attachments, decoded. An hour later the message is deleted whether you read it or not.
```
$ curl https://api.vanish.sx/v1/messages/91204
```

What it will not do

This address stops working, and its domain is later released. Never use it for an account you want to keep.

Not for banking, email providers, or anything holding your money or identity.
