The e-mail address that you create should not be predictable. An e-mail address such as weblovers@domain.com can be easily spammed and then you start receiving the spam mails. Another way to avoid spam mails is by not submitting your e-mail address online or publicly. Doing so spam bots can easily find your e-mail address and your e-mail address easily gets added to the spam list.

You can use a contact form instead of publishing your e-mail address online.

It is always recommended that you have two e-mail addresses. If you sign-up for a service that requires you to submit your e-mail address and if you are not very sure of their e-mail policy, you can give your second mail address which would keep your primary mail account spam free. Then at a later stage if you are assured of the company, you can anytime give them your primary mail address.

Doing so spammers will spam your catchall account all soon it will be filled with multiple spam mails. Many mail servers verify sender addresses before accepting any e-mails.

Doing so will not allow spammers to use your domain name in the spamming scripts.

Another important way to avoid spam is having a spam protection on the server. Having a SpamAssasin is very effective in identifying and removing spam e-mails, before it reaches you mail box.
