For old addresses there's probably not much you can do.

What I've *started* doing now is to assign addresses to specific 
subdomains that get created for the purpose  (i.e. my current sender 
address is in a subdomain I'm using for mailing lists). Newer addresses 
have a sub-domain per address - this has the advantage that if I want to 
turn it off, I kill the sub-domain, and the spammer cannot even look up 
the mx for that address any more...

     have their hands so deeply inserted in each other's pockets that
     they cannot separately plunder a third.
