In my case, I started using tagged addresses within the last couple
years (I can pin down the date, if relevant) -- Prior to that, I had
everything running through a combination of dave@ and support@ accounts
across three or four domains -- So any legacy contact information would
use one of those two addresses.

I now use opensrs@ for *all* of my reseller related communication (and
this account in basically not spamfiltered), I use whois@ for all cases
where I might appear in publicly accessible WHOIS records, and otherwise
use support@ or domains@ depending on the context.

I checked the obvious (to me, anyway) places that OpenSRS look to
attempt to find my contact information. 

The "Contact information" section seemed especially relevant,
https://rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/resellers/index?action=edit_contact -- I
use opensrs@ there in each and every single field (incidentally, I used
to have an address in the "emergency contact" field that would page two
of us at my company, as well as open a support case -- A marketing or
otherwise less then useful message to that address cured my desire to be
immediately reachable by OpenSRS on a 24/7 basis)

In the "Tech Contact" page,
https://rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/resellers/index?action=modify_partner I
use whois@ for my whois listed address, and the opensrs@ address at the
bottom.

Lastly, in the "Support and Whois information for customers" page at
https://rr-n1-tor.opensrs.net/resellers/index?action=rsp_whois_info I
use whois@ as well.

None of the locations I've entered email addresses would seem to imply
that they're appropriate for marketing drivel -- Perhaps a new set of
contact information could be added?

I'm more then happy to review new offers, services, or whatever else
from companies I have an existing relationship with, that's not
unreasonable.  In fact, I tend to address a lot of that stuff to my
personal mailbox, rather then hitting a generic role account.
