What I'm saying is, for example your [email protected] account was compromised somehow... maybe Amazon got hacked and their entire database was compromised etc....
And you start receiving junk email to [email protected]...
You would immediately blacklist [email protected]
Then log into your Amazon account and change your Amazon account email to something new like.. [email protected] and whitelist that email address.
The only person that legitimately should have been mailing [email protected] was Amazon, and they have now been updated with a new address for them, so you can now blacklist the old address and you will never see the junkmails.
Advanced tactics could reply to the blacklisted emails with a fake bounce so that the mail flow would cut down as well (mailers do typically remove bounces)

this is fine if you only have a handful of accounts and/or friends/associates to deal with.... but what if you're dealing with numbers in the hundreds? How the hell are you supposed to remember every single new email you've created and what it correspondes to?
Combine that with the added task of now having to maintain that and constantly change and update, I don't see this as a very good solution.
