You can change the alternate email in the other mailboxes, but as a solution, DO NOT post the email id on the internet.

Remove your id from forums etc, and you'll see the spam reduce considerably.

Agreed, I never post any id on forums and the only spam I get is from this damn casting site I signed up to (who are useless).

How about changing your ip address, would that prevent receiving mail from targeted computers.

It's not possible is it? I though an IP address was set to your computer or something
