Selling webmaster emails

I started using e-mail addresses related to the sight I'm signing up for. My server defaults them so a catch all address so no problems getting them. This makes it very easy to determine where the spam is coming from.

Sure wish I'd learned it earlier! I just finished (finally) changing my old important generic e-mails to something specific and getting my filters in order to pick out anything that I missed and filtering anything else that comes to those old addresses directly to the delete pile. The amount of spam that I actually see now has dropped from 450+ per day down to around 25.
