A few hard lessons I learnt from years of experience:
1. Mailwasher - filter and bounce back unwanted mails. Also helps you to avoid getting infected by E-mail viruses.
2. Discreet - Do not give away your E-mail address to people whom you do not know well. Needless to say, do not openly published your E-mail address.
3. Webmail - Get a webmail account like Yahoo and etc. If you ever need to publish your E-mail address, use the webmail account instead.
4. Newsgroups - As tempting as it may be, signing up and actively participating in newsgroups is like setting your E-mail address as a beacon for spam.
