I've had good luck with pobox.com.  I like that I can
choose a variety of domains for my email address(es).

It's a redirector, and filters the spam as it's redirecting
the email.

    I use Thunderbird--open source client from the Mozilla people--in
    POP mode and every time I get a spam email (20 or so a day), I
    create a filter on the major domain of the sender. It&#39;s an
    inconvenience, but at least I get the satisfaction that the next
    garbage that site sends goes straight to a local trash folder.
    T-Bird also has a decent calendar.<br>
