I have an entry in my router:

<tod-*> = tod

and when I am asked for an email address I give them, for example

[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Any mail so addressed goes to my normal, everyday account. But if I ever 
have a problem with them I can add an entry to the router (ahead of the 
<tod-*> entry):

<tod-Iomega> = spamtrap

and be done with them.
