Howdy,
The other thing you might want to consider is a service like Yahoo's
junk addresses. You can create as many junk addresses as you want, e.g.
reeds-tomcat-user@(protected)
if you get spam you-
A. Know for sure where it came from
B. Can easily remove the dummy address
C. Know that your main/real address is not affected.
