I had that problem where somebody thought it would be a good idea to put my email in messages on several USENET groups. My spam filters block 99% of it at the door. The problem... even legitimate mail is being blocked. I tried to get a new key for a software package I own... my old PC died and I reinstalled it, not realizing that the key is based on the hardware. I went to the key gen and it sent it to my email but I never saw it. And I can't seem to redirect to another email, so I may have to shell out money for a new license.
Even indirectly... the spammers win...
