If you don't want to receive 200 SPAM mails / day on your new email address - you shouldn't publish it as a plain text here !!!
The "harvester" bots will find it very soon 
Perhaps it will be better if you post the address as a picture. |

There should be a charging system for e-mail. Even if it was 1 cent per e-mail (so if you sent 1000 e-mails per month it would only cost you $10), it would stop 98% of all spam. I would certainly pay if it meant I never got spam again.
And imagine the bandwidth it would free up........ |

Have you read Google's general business terms? 
The big brother is watching you - reading the email traffic - creating your profile - and selling it to everybody who want to have it.

I haven't been going through my host's features, but I found out they have have a 10 out of 10 spam email filter, blocked all spam messages. So far so good for me. Look at your host plan and see if they offer one. My spam filter was switched off before I found out
