My spam avoidance scheme is to own my own domain, and then have *@mydomain.com go to my inbox, so i can create disposable addresses for any use at any time.

For instance, I always sign up with [servicename].account@mydomain.com and only ever give out my personal e-mail to people i meet in person.

The great thing is that if a [servicename].account address starts getting spam, i know which service sold my address and i can just blackhole that address.

That way, i never have to obfuscate my address, since i'll always just create a new one for the specific need. It's probably not for everyone though...
