I occasionally see things like...
dgatwood@delete-this.globegate.utm.edu
or dgatwood@anti-spam.globegate.utm.edu

Instead of
dgatwood@globegate.utm.edu

with a note in the .sig.  Kinda works, I guess.  Problem is, if your real
address is anywhere in the message, you could be a target (just run pine
and do a T to get an address into the guestbook and you'll see how easy it
is to find addresses in bodies of messages....)  For which reason, I
include an added line at the end of my .sig, just for fun.  :-)
