That somewhat depends on who handles your mail. I don't even have a 'real' email address. I forward my email as an alias to one that nobody would even attempt on without a brute force attack on any publically-accessable MTA, and just set my mailto and reply-to to the alias. For my personal email, I block access by class C, and also change the password often. You can't do either of those with public mail servers.
