I do have the same problem. I have a catchall address for my domain and use different names to subscribe to different lists hoping to cut off spam. The assumption is that I can simply delete the address when I detect it is getting spam. I often find out who is spamming from the address. For example if I have an account with bank Blah-blah I would use the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now when I get spam mail addressed to blah-blah I know the guilty culprit. My hit rate has been extremely low till date and I have started depending more on gmail to detect spam A side effect is that sometimes I forget what email I used and get lost if this is needed for any reason (such as authentication or password forgotten) Deepak
