With some hosts you can put up an e-mail where you can use any id you want. You only have one e-mail account but it can have any name you want.
So, you can sign-up with sponsors using codes. Like my nick is finnbear so I use finnbear01 to sign-up a sponsor. Then if I start to get spam to that addy I know that sponsor has sold my e-mail.
I don't care too much if they sell my e-mail. Spammers find it anyway, and it's better to use my time working rather than trying to hide my e-mail address or cursing sponsors. They may be scumbags, but if their sites convert and they pay me, I can cry when I walk to bank.
