Tagged addresses, temporary addresses, etc. All work well for a bit. Until your real email address gets out there.

And then you're history.

Look at it this way - you give your mum your real email address, because you know she's not a spammer. She forwards you a joke, and CC's a whole bunch of co-workers. One of those co-workers forwards that email to somewhere that gets archived on the web. And her MUA includes all those people's email addresses. BAM.

But if you had a proper client that hid all the work, you could "give" a different e-mail address to every correspondent, and if it leaked out, you need only cancel that one and give that particular correspondent a freshly-generated address, no?
