One trick I use is a "Catch-all" account.
Whenever I register at any site, no matter how reputable, I use that
site as my email address. So, if I registered here, I might use
profox .at. fletcherJohnson .DO.T com (but I could use Ed@FletcherJohnson.com,
EdsList .at. FletcherJohnsons .DO.T com, etc.)
Since that email ID doesn't really exist, all the email that goes there
is automatically redirected to the catchall account.
So if good old Ed were to start giving out my email ID, then I would
know that he was the one who gave it out. Of course, since I want to be
able to post, use this account from work, everyone on the list can see
my email, etc., I didn't bother (I know that none of you would spam me
anyway.....)
But it's a cool way to see who does and doesn't pass on my email ID.
Take care,
Fletcher

I *never* got any spam to my work address until about a month ago, now I
get maybe 5 a day. I have my suspicions that it started after I was
talking to a vendor of a well-known anti-spam mail gateway product, and
I said we weren't in the market for same at the minute since we don't
get much spam. And ever since then everyone has been moaning about more
crap coming in. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm .... wonder if he signed up for a few
things using out domain ........

That means I should start sending my "pen*s reducing pills" spam.
