Damn spammers!
Simple email management system.
Keep a safe box to receive email and never give the address to anyone.
Create a different alias forwarding to that box for every list you subscribe to, every site you buy from, etc.
If you start getting spam you can easily trace where you used that alias and, if you get no joy hauling them over the coals, set that alias to bounce.
Of course you do have to keep track of all those aliases.
A spreadsheet should do it. |
