Best email provider against spam? (lemy.lol)

I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places. But I doubt if I can guard myself against spam.

Is there a provider specialized in spam protection? Or at least good at it?

At last, given your experience, should I even do it?

... Until they randomize the part before the plus

They don't need to randomize it, just strip it.

They strip the part after and including the plus. And yea, that's exactly what is done. People need to stop assuming malicious actors are dumb and incapable of reading an RFC.
