Probably a combination of
* difficult to guess email address (i.e. won't succumb to a dictionary
attack on your ISP's mail server)
* not posting to usenet with your real email address
* not having your email address on the web anywhere
* not giving your email address to a dot-com which then went bust and
sold their subscriber lists
As someone to whom none of the above applies to, I get quite a bit of spam.
