I _can_ configure postfix to receive email for this address only from Red Hat's servers. That would have the additional benefit of preventing off-lit replies:-)
I have also thought of subscribing two addresses to lists, setting one to "no mail" and deleting the account at the receiving end.
The "no mail" address would be the one I write from.
Another idea I've had is to run mailman. Subscribe relevant lists to it, maybe me and use the mailman's address to write from.
some low level junk controls to help cut down. At one point on my primary email (not this address), I was getting about 100-200 junk email messages a weekend. With 75-100 a day.
The junk mail has been minimal now; but, I still get some that come in now and then 20-30 a day.
