I have found that probably the best way to approach spam is to create a bogus e mail address that you never intend to check or monitor which is used solely for online purchasing / signing up for stuff online etc.
Using Gmail myself and I get one spam email that gets thru maybe once in 3-5 months. And trust me, tell me a porn site and my email addy is on their database.
