I like creating scads of dash addresses (like this one) and a few
"real" ones through forwarders (I use pobox.com) to separate my email
and only use each account with a single site/list/purpose. Seems to
keep the crap down to a manageable amount. Accounts I've used on sites
like freshmeat and slashdot get the most junk, ones used on lists get
the least. Oddly, I've never had spam in the numerous accounts used
for product warranties and online sales sites.
