I have an alias email address...

that I use when websites force you to list an email. I'm sure you all have the same.... the replies to my alias addy go to a folder AWAY from my actual email address keeping my inbox nice and clean... OR SHOULD do that...

There is a fatal flaw in the alias email system... you have to remember to use it. THUS:

Over the years I've forgotten to use the alias enough that today I think my main inbox receives more junk than the alias inbox.

So I now 'block' senders but even that is fatally flawed,,,, too many to keep up. If there exists a mailing list that I'm not on it would have be one not based on planet earth.
