> exactly one email address that I use for Amazon

This is why I use my entire domain as my email address (i.e. *@example.com is routed to my inbox). This makes it trivial to hand out a unique address every time I fill out a form.

If any spam arrives that is addressed to "vendor.com@example.com", it's obvious who sold their email db. Bonus: it's easy to filter out spam when the spammer is sending to a unique address.
