Indeed. Exactly what I did recently. Set up a new, complicated primary address to give me a clean start and then took advantage of the 15 subsidiary addresses that ntl allow. I've now got an address for friends and relatives, an address for regular internet shopping, an address for one-off shopping, an address for banking and a number of junk addresses for signing up etc. As I quickly found out, even for your junk accounts, don't use addresses of the the type Bert99; the spammers will soon get hold of them.
