I like to do a similar thing with online forms that
require your name and
email. I create a throwaway email address and then make up a name and
address. I'm still getting spam offering really great mortgage rates to
someone called David Marquez in Juneau. But I never did get anything for
Consuelo O'Brien of Barrow.
You can do even better than that, by creating rules to automatically handle
incoming email according to the destination address.
