I definitely agree with Emmanuel on installing a technological solution if a human one isn’t viable. There are definitely a multitude of solutions you can choose in hopes of limiting the visits of wayward users to liscened and safe sites. It may sound a bit restrictive, but it the measure is necessary to keep your company’s security and systems in check. It’s better to do that then get hit with uncontrollable amounts of spam.

Using an email address to subscribe to websites and especially using it in forums and communities (especially guestbooks) is indeed asking to be spammed. Sometimes if you subscribe to a web service that you will not need to communicate with via email, using a disposable email address can save you from a lot of spam.

I actually have the same setup. A single email for office and work use, another one for personal correspondence, and finally one more to sign up for services, forums and communities where an e-mail is required. Even with that kind of setup, you won’t believe the amount of spam I receive: the occasional one at the office, then a few at home, but it just astounds me how full my inbox gets during the times I check my third.

Using different email addresses as Lashawn suggests is also a good idea, it’s a system I employ myself. I too use certain emails in environments like forums that are more at risk to be harvested by spammers.
