I use a new e-mail address (alias) for every service I sign up to -- especially if it's a one-off transaction or a "short-term" relationship. That way, if/when I start getting spam to that address or the address otherwise "leaks", I simply disable that alias and carry on. (I've run my own mail servers for a loooong time so this is quite easy. It may be a little more difficult or involved if you use something like Gmail or whatever.)

In Gmail john.smith@gmail.com works just the same as johnsmith@gmail.com. What's more, you can add a plus sign and any word before the @ sign (e.g. johnsmith+hello@gmail.com) and messages will still reach you, where you can sort them and filter them through labels. ~Hope that helps.
