When I sign up for all this free stuff I use a junk email address. I created the email specifically for reasons like this.. that way my actual email address doesn't fill up with spam. Does everybody else do the same?

Yes, I have a special email address for junk mail. I watch it carefully because sometimes the sites that offer free stuff want to verify the address.

I use an alternate gmail account.

Here are plenty of other FREE resources:
Free Email Address Directory : Guide to free email and other services

(Some of these can be fun. They come out in beer names, sport team names and all sorts of alternatives.)

I use a hotmail account for all junk stuff, but I do get something from family or friends in there once and a while
so, if your address is NOT in the address book, then it goes to junk
