The only way to stop spam mail is to get a new email address and close the old one.
It is always a good idea to maintain two or three internet identities, and give a false email address if you don’t think a site can be trusted with it.
Update your passwords regularly and change email addresses or create one for serious use and one for more public use that you dont mind closing down if it does get too much spam.
You can also use an email provider that has good spam filters to keep this inevitable problem down to a minimum.
