Just to be clear...

Bob's suggestions are a good idea, but they will NOT prevent your email
address from being forged to virus spams, nor will they prevent you from
receiving the "bounce" messages that result.  

The only way to prevent your address from being forged to virii is to
ensure nobody you've ever sent an email to gets infected.  

It's probably easier to work a VU4 on 2 meters...
