Moving guerrillamail and associated domains from time bound to trash #10

As described on the guerrillamail.com site, guerrillamail and associated domains are more trash than time bound.

Avoid spam and stay safe - use a disposable email address!

These domains keep emails available for an hour before shredding them. Hence, they are closer to time bound than shredded. Shredded emails is where users can never see the emails sent.

I wasn't aware guerrillamail only retained emails for an hour. Good to know.

To me this raises a question about the meaning of time-bound though. Is the time-bound portion the message or the address? I had understood time-bound to be like meltmail, where the address itself becomes invalid after a certain time. Guerrillamail says they keep emails for an hour but that the addresses themselves are always valid.

The latest version only contains one list of disposable emails. So this PR is no longer applicable.

Thanks for your contribution.
