Those if us with the extra E still have email forwarding. I'm not sure what spam filtering they apply to the address, but the spam has been minimal over the 20 years or so I've had the account. Of course, that might also have something to do with the fact that I haven't ever really used the alias (searching through my history, the only activity is a test email about once every three years to check where I'm forwarding the emails).
They throw in Google apps now as well (your call as to if that's a plus or a minus).
