I have one Hotmail address that I use for anything that looks as though it might pass my e-mail address on. I can then open anything from that company but ignore the rest of the rubbish that comes in, marking it as Junk.

Last year I entered a competition from my main ISP and received loads of junk from that, which I think is rather shabby as I pay them a monthly access fee!
