If your ISP gives you a static IP address, doesn't mind you running a mail
server, and you have an always on connection, you can set up a mail server
on your linux box and use that.  That's what I do.  I got the idea from a
guy I used to work with.

There are times when I want to sign up for something and have to provide
an email address.  I create another account on my machine for that.  If
that account starts getting spam, I just delete that account and create
another.
