I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places. But I doubt if I can guard myself against spam.

Is there a provider specialized in spam protection? Or at least good at it?

At last, given your experience, should I even do it?

Anonaddy

Use unique bullshit addresses for every site, that way WHEN they sell your data out or get hacked you know who is responsible.

Anonaddy forwards everything to your one true email address knowing that only anonaddy really knows your address.

Agreed with the unique addresses but why not use aliases directly at your email provider? Why use a 3rd party service?
