I get bonehead unsubscribe requests and flame mails when 
spammers forge an older domain of mine.

The only thing I could do is add this to dns...
waterz.net.             3600    IN      TXT     "v=spf1 -all"
...which says this domain doesn't send any mail.

The effectiveness of "me at example dot tld" instead of
"me@example.tld" might be debatable,  but at least it is something and
should be trivial to set up.
