Well, I've had AMCAmbassador@xxxxxxxxx for almost six years -- through 
three moves and seven ISP changes.  I can't fault their spam 
protection.  However, spammers hit yahoo hard with alpha attacks -- where 
they link entire dictionaries with @yahoo.com in the hopes they get a good 
address hit.  Aardvaardk@xxxxxxxxx, and so on.  Same with zip codes.

Whatever you get, stay away from a single word.  Use a combination of two 
or more words that would be hard for a software program to 
guess.  <RecoveringAMCManIn@xxxxxxxxx> for example.

Google mail is pretty darn good too, although I don't have an address with 
them.  I rather like Google because they tend to fight when the government 
wants to snoop through your mail without a warrant.  Others roll over and 
lay your private communications bare.

One smaller provider that's worthy of mention:

         Racemail.com

It's webmail, but it does have the ability to pull your mail from your ISP 
inbox.

I have *never* had any spam in that mailbox.
