Your first defense against spam sources, change or disguise email addresses posted in a public electronic place.
It is rather ideal not to sign out any online member directories. This is like giving them your go signal to distribute your email address to spam sources.
The numbers of spam sources are ballooning everyday. So be extra conscientious when you encounter online forms that requires you to disclose your email address. In particular, pay attention to any options discussing how the address will be used.
Be cautious when ticking boxes which could allow them to send you emails or share your e-mail address others.
