That doesn't help, unfortunately. Mailing list archives, searchable via
www, are the biggest source for 'harvestable' spam targets.

I run my own mail server and use spamassassin. I used to get 100 - 300
spam per day; now I get 1 - 5. 

Find an ISP that does real spam filtering and it all goes away. I think
earthlink does, for example (there are likely others).
