I've deleted my ka9q@amsat.org alias. It accounted for much of my incoming spam, and after I re-subscribed my AMSAT mailing lists to use my primary address karn@ka9q.net a few years ago, hardly anybody used it for legit non-spam emails.
So if anyone wants to reach me, please use my primary address karn@ka9q.net. ka9q@amsat.org no longer works.
A lot of us have accumulated many of these convenience aliases over the years. Many membership organizations (e.g., AMSAT, ARRL) provide them, as do universities to their alumni. You might look to see how much spam you get on the ones you're not using.
(See amsat-bb discussion back in 2014 on this same topic.)
