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?

Then you're going to get spammed to hell, live with it.

There's no spam filters that will protect you 100% from putting the same email address everywhere.

Using personalized aliases for everything and never showing a public address if you can help it is the only way to fight spam these days.

Well, you could curate your own whitelist, but that's not very practical for most use cases.
