As a side point, you can get gmail to read your existing email account, or you can even (for free) transfer your LtdCo email handling to google apps standard edition.

I've dropped my postal address from my CV, too, since it just seems to be used as a way of agents deciding a gig is too far away for me.

That way Google can manage the spam for me, and I can just throw the address away and get another if I wish.
Hey ho. 16 years I've been giving out the same email address for all gig and employment-related communication. And now I'm ditching it.

next, remove date of birth, sex, sexual orientation, architectural qualifications and weekly alcohol units. I guarantee you will get a job sooner than you otherwise would probably have

This time it is EFI Group (again) with their Forever Living Products pyramid selling crap.
If it's not them its Amway or one of the others.
Every time I upload my CV to the various job sites, these emails start coming in.
And, of course, these things are always USA-based where the originators are hailed as financial geniuses.
And that is used to convince stupid people that joining in will make them rich, rich, rich too.
Can nothing be done to stop the stupidity of gullible, greedy people?
Why can we not use our 'secret service' to do something useful like hunt down the people that start these things and kill them? Slowly.
