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?

Not best solution I guess. How about generic sites? Like Git commit mail, my website, Mastodon etc. where I can’t add that postfix.
Why can’t you use ±aliases in Git, Mastodon, etc.?
Edit:
git config --local user.email "[email protected]"shouldn’t cause any issues.What I do is have some general mailboxes then signed addresses on top of that.
So if you email blog@ or kevincox@ you will get a fairly high level of spam filtering. I also have a few other “memorable” addresses that get reduced spam filtering. If you use the unique signed address that I use for signing up to services, newsletters or whatever where the address is private to a specific service then you basically skip spam filtering. Of course if you abuse that privilege then I will outright block the signed address.
Basically by allowing friends and “trusted” services through the spam filter I can crank up the difficulty for unknown senders.
