Free Cake! It's true, I swear.

Bob, ordinarily I'd be with you on that, but I really can't recommend a disposable email with a Steam account.  In ... almost 4? years of being on Steam, I have yet to receive any spam from them -- or for that matter, due to them.
However, I've had to recover my password several times, and you quite simply can't do that without access to your email account.
Basically, Steam ties the games you buy to your account, and your account is defined by your username and password.  Lose either and you have to fall back on your email address, and if you don't have that, you're hosed -- and out the $$$ you've spent on the games.
They don't share your email and they don't spam you.  Valve is playing it legit.
