If you are sufficiently AR (overly Zealous) and you have a mail system that 
can redirect *@.... to your current mail then you can use unique e-mail 
addresses every time you fill in a form etc. This allows you to
a) switch of spammed e-mail addresses
b) find out who is leaking addresses and let others know....

Broadband providers generally dont allow infinite addresses for accounts so 
thats another good reason to have you mail 'hosted' elsewhere.
