May I suggest you create a sub-domain and a user name the use that in public places ? For example:- mark at xyz.5-cent.us As soon as the nasty ******** get that email address simple change the sub-domain. If you receive your own mails (meaning run your own mail server) then do not accept emails from sites where the host name does not exist or does not resolve to the HELO / EHLO or the IP address of the sending server. There are lots of other things you can do to reduce the spam, but only if you run your own mail server or use Google to filer-out the spam. Paul.
