It helps a bit to use the junkbuster proxy. It runs fine on Unix but the
source says it can be compiled on M$ systems too, though an executable
is supplied.

It can do a lot and aside from not using the real Email address in the
browsers' setup (some tell, some tell not) it is an additional measure.

See http://www.junkbuster.com/ for more, it is free for private users
and their site has a lot to say even if you do not want to use it.

Cheers,
Juergen
