...However the web-host people are able to put some
sort of filter in place which returns a 'not a valid email address' message
to anyone who may send an
email to the address containing my web id.
No, that's a bad idea. In the terminology of the article on Rhonda's
website, it just creates more backscatter spam, and overwhelmingly likely,
no-one will ever see it. It could even create an unending loop. As the
article says, (in take-away number 3), "Ignore backscatter".
The thing to do with any spam is just to delete it.
Emails sent to this address are deleted unread as an anti-spam measure.
