How to create anonymized email address

I need to implement an anonymized email adress feature in my website, much like airbnb and homeaway do.

They create an anonymous address for each conversation between renter and landlord.

For example, homeaway has [email protected]

And airbnb has [email protected]

(the ids leading @ have been altered).

Airbnb reference: http://blog.airbnb.com/introducing-anonymized-email-addresses-airbnb/

I'm using node.js and sendgrid for sending emails. What is the process behind this that I should be using?

The homeaway esample looks like a UUID string. Check this on how to generate UUID strings.
