I have three e-mail addresses, one for work, one at home and one for something I volunteer to do. I have noticed there is definately a pattern in where the spam goes. My work address receives no spam however I almost never give this address out on a web site. The volunteer e-mail address is on Hotmail so it does get some spam but it is on about the one spam a day level. My home e-mail address which I used a lot of web sites gets about 100 spam a day and is to the point I am ready to give it up and tell only the people I want sending me e-mail what it is.
So in a nutshell only tell people you trust what your e-mail is and get something like a Hotmail account to use for websites that want you to register and your spam should be about zero.
