I saw an idea once on another list from a guy who was lucky/motivated enough
to have his own domain and mail server.

What he had set up was his mail server would accept mail for
<anything>@hisdomain.net and put it all in his mailbox.  So what he would do
would be anywhere he had to submit an email addres he would use a different
but identifying one for each form/messaging service/porn site/mailing
list/whatever.  e.g. for icq it would [EMAIL PROTECTED], for nytimes it
would [EMAIL PROTECTED]

So when he started getting spam to [EMAIL PROTECTED] he would then
start writing offensive correspondence to nastycorp asking why they had
divulged his address to the spammers.  Small thing but I imagine he got some
satisfaction out of it; I know I would :)

S.   :)
