I use several e-mail addresses. One for work, one for family and close friends, and one to catch all the spam.
You can never unsubscribe from spam... sorry.

I think having a throw away e-mail they only take 5 minutes to make and some of them allready have free spam. When I shop on line I just use a throw away e-mail

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT ever unsubscribe to spam. You are letting spammers know that your email address is valid. That makes your email address that much more valuable. They then sell your email address to hundreds of other spammers, etc, etc. I suggest using a temporary email address, courtesy of 10 Minute Mail: http://10minutemail.com/10MinuteMail/index.html

I recommend you look into spamgourmet.com. What you do, is sign up for an account, and then afterwards, to make a throw-away email address, all you have to do is type word.username.size@spamgourmet. The word is something you have never used before, like pie. User name is self-explainable. And size, is how many emails you want forwarded to your real email address, until it self-destructs.

a lot of spammers wont let you unsubscribe or make it so difficult you don't want to bother. I would recommend a 2nd address.

idk , u risk clogging the server , and making that email pop3 25 port server charging money for their service.
on the other hand, blacklisting of email services isnt that great and always doesnt work. sometimes the advertiser gives money to email domain servers to have the consumer not be able to block their message.
I would go w / a throw away, i have about 10. but only prob is u forget them etc...
And you usually increase advertising traffic...

another email address. thats wat i do. i have a real one and a fake one. i subscribe to all these websites on the fake one and the real stuff goes to my real email. the only problem is somehow, ppl with the email address "Great Deals" have found my real email address and are sending me junk like "SAVE BIG ON CARS!!!" and "YOU WON $1000!!!!" i hate that, so i just block them.
