I used dated addresses for around 2 years, and I found that the only
times that the address was harvested and exploited before it expired
was when I posted to Usenet.  This often happened in < 24 hours, so I
stopped using dated addresses on Usenet.

Other than Usenet (i.e, mailing lists), you should be fine with nearly
any reasonable timeout.  I used 8 days and never had a problem as my
experience was that it took at least weeks to months for the address
to be harvested from a web archive of the list and then exploited.
