I wasn't joking though. It's a pain once the spammers get your address.
If you have no control over the incoming server, you can't do anything
with RBL. procmail recipes don't always work, it's too late then.
Another way that I've had limited success with is to use a family of
addresses say of the form joe-xxx. So you subscribe to SLUG as joe-slug,
then set up a forwarding that sends joe-slug through a procmail recipe
that allows only mail that came from the SLUG and sends the rest to a
sus bin. One guy I saw took this idea to the logical conclusion. He
uses addresses of the form joe-NNN for mailing lists and forums. As soon
as joe-NNN is compromised, he discards it and increments NNN. You'd have
to have delivery control to do such tricks and it's a pain to update all
your registrations. It's also a pain for people who want to contact him,
he has a signature that says: if joe-NNN doesn't work, try NNN+1, etc.
