This isn't the first time you've sent mail to the list, and people
responding to you in December quoted your email address in their
messages. So the unique address you use for this list appears
unprotected in the list archives -- which are of course readily
available and even Google-indexed:
http://www.google.com/search?q=msha5_17%40bl.com
I'm not saying that a security breach didn't happen, but it certainly
wasn't the only way the address could have been farmed.
