Only four? In this case I would have given them something along the
lines of that scheme has flagged up a number of
addresses that have been sold or stolen over the years ...

I have 247 of them ... sort of, and they'll keep growing. Trust must be
earned. Everyone first gets an alias. If they prove trustworthy,
either the alias becomes permanent or I update them to my real e-mail
address (REA).

I have 3 real REAs: Microsoft, ISP, and Gmail. I was up to about 12
before I started using aliases which are better than disposable
accounts. In total, I have hundreds of e-mail addresses: 3 are REAs but
the rest are all aliases. Only a few aliases survive. Most aliases
self-expire (sender eats up the max use count for an alias - and I don't
bother to renew it), many I've killed before expiration (reduced their
use count to zero and hide them), and only a few aliases survive either
by me renewing their expiration count or by setting an exclusive sender
to use them (only that sender or domain can get through the alias
without the usage count getting decremented to zero which kills the
alias).

I create aliases on-the-fly. Because I may later contact the same
sender but want to give them a new alias, I add a datestamp to the alias
(so the next new alias gets a new datestamp and I don't have to bother
with overlapping and updating an old and possibly expired alias with
them); for example, every time I want to leave a review at download.com
(CNET), I create a new alias, like cnet052118. Putting their name in
the alias helps me track to whom it was given (so I know who violated my
trust if the alias gets abused) and optionally I can go into my
Spamgourmet (SG) account to add a comment for an alias.

No need to login to the SG aliasing service. I do have to login should
I want an alias to be semi-permanent and non-expiring for a sender that
has proven themself: set the alias to allow only for the exclusive
sender (and I can use regex to cover multiple e-mail addresses they may
use). SG is free but probably has a max use quota which is far above my
mail traffic volume. There are similar paid aliasing services.

I have 125 aliases. Only 9 have survived from senders that proved
themselves trustworthy (or they were given my REA and the alias was no
longer needed). Before Craigslist switched to using SG for keeping
private the e-mail addresses of sellers and buyers, I used an SG account
to use aliases when I sold, bought, or inquired at Craigslist.

There are TONS of forwarding services to let you hide your REA when
receiving incoming e-mails from untrusted senders. Those don't protect
your REA on a reply to an aliased e-mail. A true aliasing service lets
you send your replies back through thier aliasing service to keep your
REA hidden. See my reply to Nauta.

That's the nasty bit of most companies. They all want your e-mail
address and keep bothering you with bargains and special offers.
Unsuscribe is the only remedy.

That's why I have four email addresses. One only for family and friends.
One for general public, eg, volunteer groups, casual acquaintances, etc.
One for business. And one just for on-line transactions.

Bugmenot and Mailinator.com are useful for avoiding spammishness.
Mailinator allows for the generation of single-company related
throwaway email addys. Bugmenot is useful for sites that "require" a
login but whom you don't quite trust.
There are other little tools of a similar kind.

except that a lot of companies have caught on that and block users from
using them.

Out of 244 aliases, only 9 are currently active. That is, the other 235
have self-expired or were killed by me after they were no longer
applicable or they got abused. So, at present, I have 3 REAs (real
email addresses) and 9 aliases (with each set to exclusively allow only
one sender that has proven trustworthy). Sometimes it is easier to
continue using an non-expiring exclusive-sender alias than to update the
sender to use my REA.
