I don't own @punkass.com.  It's owned by HotPop. When I signed up I 
wondered if spamme was taken and spamme at punkass.com looks like an 
invalid address to most.  Of course I get a had time with my real email 
(".name .... .com?) and some web forms insist .name is an invalid 
domain.  That probably also keeps me off some spam lists for the nonce.

I do get spam from HotPop for this address, but it's part of the 
condition of getting a free POP/redirected email address.  It's very 
easy to filter out too.
