I use newsgroups@schestowitz.com along with my UseNet identity; that account
gets about 10 spam items a day -- all of which attributed to on-line UseNet
archives. The more time goes on, the more ratbots will pick up that E-mail
address, i.e. the account is yet to get more badly hit.
To filter messages for that account I use a boxtrapper, which works like a
charm. This involves sending a verification request E-mail to anyone not
already in the whitelist. I also run spamassassin (which is free) on top of
that. Since these are server-level solutions, I doubt whether they will be
valuable to you, but remember: more E-mail addresses = more flexibility.
