Best email provider against spam? (lemy.lol)

I want to use my main mail address everywhere, even public places. But I doubt if I can guard myself against spam.

Is there a provider specialized in spam protection? Or at least good at it?

At last, given your experience, should I even do it?

Then my guess is that someone got ahold of that email list and started using it to send spam and that caused Gmails algorithm to start flagging anything sent out to a bunch of members of that email group at the same time as such.

Maybe someone spoofed the From field on some spam, using their email address. Thereby marking that From address as a spammer. I've seen this happen both ways.
