Um...you don't necessarily need a new address. If you are using Yahoo mail, all you have to do is go to
Options
Then click on Block Addresses, then add the address you want blocked. You can block up to 500 addresses.

For a start it depends how bad it is now and whether you have the option of discarding your current email address.
If just have a free address (Yahoo / Hotmail / Etc) it's just as easy to get rid and open another, telling your friends and relative (only) the new address.
Assuming you have an address you want or need to keep, such as boss@mybusiness.co.uk then you have several filtering options...
For a start many 'Internet suites' (ie McAfees, Norton Symantec) include spam filters in the package, which helps.
You can also filters such as 'SpamEaterPro' which look at the email on the actual server - before Outlook etc even see it.
You can additionally use services such as SpamAssassin to reduce the level of (known) Spam.
Safe bet you aren't at this level yet, but if you have procmail installed on your web/email server then you can write custom filters to decide just what can and can't get through...
On an easier level you can customise Outlook Express (etc) to take actions based on your rules...
i.e.
It is has an attachment, delete it.
It it is from 'the office', move it to 'this' folder
Avoiding getting it in the first place is a good idea mind. The less you give it out, the less hassle you are likely to get.
