This is all very simple stuff, but useful:

That's exactly why, when I sign up for a program, I put my email address as [email protected]. It seems that they'll remove the email before they sell the list -- and some DO sell the list. Signing up for ANYTHING - dvd rental site, cnn newsletter, anything... use [email protected]. Don't list an email on your site, and if you do, use one of those j a v a s c r i p t s to protect yourself. In the whois, I usually use domains*whateverdotcom*@mycentraldomain.com, at least that way, I know which domains are having their whois records picked, though [email protected] would also work, I guess... then again with that method, if you've got 700 domains for example, you'll need 700 email addresses/wildcard email addresses (or whatever they're called) set up.
