Why don't you just change email addresses and stay with the same ISP? Or
better yet why not use an address that you can easily change that forwards
you list mail to you real box? Called an alias address. You can change
Alias addresses on the fly.

Remember that it is in the ISPs best interest to block spam. It *DOES*
take a toll on their machines. It is the ISP's network, it is the ISP's
servers, it is the ISP's space. It is much easier to block SPAM from
getting in than trying to stop SPAM going out. And I wouldn't consider it
"deciding what you see", it isn't like that teenager goes thru your email
and deletes the SPAM...no way.
Unfortunately like I said you can't stop outbound SPAM, you can stop
inbound SPAM. The reason, because companies like AGIS support SPAMers...
And companies like Digex, PIL, Net Access, and ICC have very good anti-spam
policies. Last week Atlantic.Net (ICC) stopped Quantcum from sending
thousands of spams from a dial-up account, and I applaud them for that...

I do that 70 times a week for another address...
