Speaking as someone who provided E-Mail services for a couple of 
decades, NO.

It's not the provider's fault.

It's the customer who insists that his E-Mail address appear in a web page.

It's the person who forwards jokes and cc's everyone (not bcc, cc) and 
never removes the earlier lists.

... and it's your friends, who can't resist opening that trojan horse -- 
the first thing the trojan does is read their address book and publish it.

My oldest active address is more that two decades old.

It's not the provider's fault, a good provider will try to guide you 
away from things that will generate more spam.
