I use three methods for protecting my email address:

* Spamgourmet for websites I don't trust. some_random_text.underwater@spamgourmet.com will forward six emails to my real address.

* A some_random_text@my-domain.com address with a catch-all for mail I really need.

* ReCAPTCHA's mailhide <http://www.google.com/recaptcha/mailhide/>; for posting my email on the crawlable web.

I have noticed that most spam I do get is not from online businesses, but from businesses I've given my email to in person (e.g. conventions, competitions).
