Configure your mail server that it will receive every e-mail, not only one alias.

Then when you join some sponsor, webhost or other internet services do it like this:

Example:
If you join GFY, in the applicaton form put your e-mail to be: [email protected]

If you join bullshit.com put your e-mail to be [email protected]

So believe me sooner or later you will receive a spam to your [email protected] e-mail, so you will know who is behind it. I discovered a lot of companies that send out spam this way.

yea, the spam will never end...
