   Some ISPs put a limit on the number, and/or charge, for that, though.   
      
   Some ISPs - and most hosting/forwarding services - allow you to use   
   anything before the @ sign, without having to register it; I use that   
   for anything that requires an email for registration etcetera. I usually   
   use the name of the company/site involved, so I know who leaked it if I   
   do get spam. I don't get _that_ much spam, so I have my email software   
   set to collect emails with anything before the @ sign, as it's easier   
   and I don't have to keep changing its settings; but you could set it to   
   only accept certain ones, you'd just have to add the new one and then   
   remove it after a while. I imagine that represents about the same amount   
   of effort as setting up the forwarders you are seeking.   
      
   Obviously, this only works where you own (or rent) the bit after the @   
   sign; no use to anyone whose email is just something @bigISP.com. I see   
   the OP's email ends "@ziggo.net" - do you own that domain, or is it your   
   ISP?
