On a related note, when subscribing to a list, newsletter etc.. make sure you always put a marker on your email address.
Although not too popular, most web mailing services will process and send emails to these marked accounts,
The marker is identified by + and a word of your choice.
Example: If John was subscribing at a tomato shop newsletter service and his email is [email protected] the marker should be [email protected]. That's the email which John should use when subscribing to the tomato shop newsletter.
In this way, if you receive email from sites other than tomato site, where the TO: field is johndoe+tomato, you know that your email was shared with others and you can report as spam.
I hope that helps.
