How do you handle junk email? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I've been using Thunderbird to sort out my junk email for a while, ever since I walked away from my Gmail account. Thunderbird does a great job, but it does mean it has to stay running somewhere.

However I'm currently in the process of moving and as a result I've had to shut down the system that that I had been running Thunderbird on. The result of which, obviously, is that my inbox is now being flooded with spam.

Since it's been a while since I last looked at the problem, I figured I ask. How do you deal with spam email?

I don't give my email address to absolutely anyone. Everyone gets an alias. Everyone. My Mom gets one. Anyone who abuses their alias, gets it deleted. I don't get spam but maybe once a month.
