Yeah.. what George said...
Plus, the inherent resistance to lots of virus bugs...
Like you, I've left this addy in too many "old" places -- fortunately,
the spam level is tolerable (knock-on-wood).
I use other addys for work-mail, SIG, et al., and other "throwaway" addys
for subs, etc, especially where harvesters are rampant --
Y!Groups comes to mind...
My current approach includes taking advantage of those "extra" addys
offered by ISP.. say, Earthlink... and mail-forwarding feature to a
"real" mailbox..
when the "junk name" starts getting overly-hammered, it's time to change
the mailing-list pointer to a new "junk name", and go...
Extra feature -- big-dog ISP's generally have customizable mail-filters;
nice to be able to block jerks (and/or whole domains !) as needed, before
the forward-function kicks in...
Re: PP -- have ePrompter here.. It will handle 16 accounts; I use it
mainly to "peek" & alert for new items in seldom-used boxes, tho it will
allow marking a mail item for deletion, and do so on the next pass-thru
-- Real time-saver when POPping those mails...
The Sanity -vs- Spam problem is a balancing act; no single answer fits
all -- you have to decide for yourself how much effort you're willing to
exert.
