I have used POBox.com in the past and generally liked it a lot. Unusual amounts of spam are probably not related to POBox but instead to your very common user name, as you have heard from others. On the other hand, here is a question for you: does the spam end up in the spam folder, and therefore is it a problem? Having used a Gmail address for now about 15 years I get some spam but Gmail conveniently puts it in the spam folder, which I quickly check once in awhile for the odd false positive that ends up there too.
