Hmmm, that can be a thad unpractical

Or, get your own domain and mailserver (as sugested) and make the domainname of the company in question into the userpart of the adress you are giving them.
I would tell gohip.com that my email adress is gohip.com@cortex.nl.
None of the 'rich uncles' will even consider fragmenting linux, it's not nice. And these uncles want to be precieved as being nice. That may even be the main motivation for the latest bandwagon jumpers. Because if you are nice people will buy from you (have you even bought something from someone you thought was not being nice to you?).
How do we keep these uncles in check? Publicity, my dear Watson, publicity is what these uncles fear and love most.
No uncle will want to be known as the one that fragmented linux not even our friends in redmont. Why? because linux is sympathetic, killing something that is sympathetic is the ultimate PR nightmare.

procmail is your friend.
Or at least they should be owned by the public.
If the public saw the need that they have for free access to information which their mere existants IRL produces.
But do they ?
Guess Not, Oh well
