I sometimes get "returned" messages where a spammer was using my e-mail 
address and it hit a dead address.

When it was really bad I set up a mail box for those folk I know (besides 
my usual list filters) and let the rest go to the "in" box.
Every day or so I'd go zip through the subjects and senders to see if 
something looks like real mail. Then I'd dump it all.
It's a pain but changing e-mail addresses is a bigger one.
