There is no way to truly protect your email address from being used. Even SPF doesn't keep someone from using it, it only (sometimes) makes it detectable that it is being used. For any authentication of who someone is, you should rely on something cryptographically strong, like GPG/PGP algorithms.

You can't protect your email from being used as a reply to address as that is send by the cliente software that is sending the email.

And FYI, SPF doesn't protect against that either.
