You must be rigorous about not posting your address anywhere. I get up to a 100-200 per day.
I still use hushmail for "throwaway" type emails where I have to sign up for something I'm pretty sure will be used as an email marketing platform. Then if one alias gets compromised I just delete it. hushmail has decent anti-spam measures also. I wouldn't trust it to send that really important email for Snowden only but it works great for basically unlimited email aliases. Then I can also see more easily who's probably selling off their address list and stop using their product.

For someone who can't imagine that email may sometimes come from people who doesn't have their best interest at heart, sure.
Me, I receive 5-15 spam emails a day, which are filtered only by my local mail client, with some false negative, and extremely rare false positives (I spotted one in several years, and I always look through my spam folder).
Despite my lack of Google grade filters, I can use email just fine.
