If this sort of thing bothers you then simply use a unique or close to unique username and then put a filter in your e-mail client.
send mail from: markymarkythefunkyd...@northpole.com and your guaranteed that anyone mailing you with "markymarkthefunkydude" in any part of their sending e-mail address is a spammer, and it should be child's play to create a filter in even Outlook that will delete those messages.

Ever notice that a lot of spam seems to have your username in their from address? Such as an email sent TO b...@domain.com is FROM blah...@anotherdomain.com (notice 'blah' included in the from address). This appears to be the case with a large a majority of the spam that gets through my filters. Any ideas how to handle this? Would be nice to be able to add a score for matches like that. Thanks, Mark
