E-mail hygiene:
- Using aliases for every company you deal with, or using recipient
  delimiters like "+" so it is easier to find out which company sold you
  out.
- Exercise more caution when handing out your "primary" address
- Avoid services that like to spam your addressbook (see: LinkedIn etc.)

Spam fighting:
- Using DNSBLs to cut down on the crap
- Training spamassassin's DB with ham and spam.
- Enact rate limiting policies so that a compromised account can only do
  limited amount of damage.
