I get tons of those, although only a few a day get past my ISP's spam 
and virus filters. Occasionally, I also get bounce error messages for 
various crap sent using my address for From:. It's really rather 
disturbing to get automated responses with warnings about legal 
action and stuff from domains you've never heard of. :-/

I suspect that the spammers subscribe to various lists and then 
extract the "related" addresses by analyzing the posts and/or the 
archives. Some list servers will happily answer the "subscribers" 
request from any subscriber - probably a bad idea these days...
