I have used this method for years to limit spam and it has worked for me. I have three email addresses. The first is my business address. Only business contacts get that one. No spam in that account in the 2.5 years it has been active. The second is the address I get from my ISP. This one I only give to family and friends. No spam in the three years it has been active. The third is a free excite account that I use for testing when setting up new Domino servers or basic troubleshooting. This is the address that I use every time I am required to provide an address to anyone but business contacts or family and friends. This is also the one that gets the spam. I just go in about once a month and clear it out.
For a company using Domino however, I have come to the conclusion that the DNSBL on Domino is just insufficient. We have recently resorted to an email proxy for filtering for Viruses and Spam(Not form me but for other employees who are receiving too much spam).

We are using Spam Assassin(free)

Another great product is Postini.(used by my ISP)

The bottom line is that these two products do a great job of preventing spam from ever reaching your in-box and that is the ultimate goal for us!
