Since you brought the subject of SPAM up, please allow me to refer you
to a company started by a friend of mine:
http://www.emailias.com/
Basically, my friend has developed a service that allows you to create
and manage "emailiases" -- aliases for your real email address. You
can create these emailiases, dole them out to untrusted parties, and
even interact with these untrusted parties via your favorite email
client. When you start receiving SPAM via these emailiases, you can
TURN THEM OFF. End of problem.
Yes, this company charges money if you want to create more than N
emailiases.
Obligatory notice: I have received no compensation from my friend to
tell you about his company. We just go on sick mountain bike rides
together (far too infrequently, alas...)...
Obligatory Linux comment: my friend is a big Linux/Open Source
enthusiast.
