Just thought I'd let you know, and see if anyone else has seen the

I wouldn't have used this unique address for anything else other than
signing up to publicwhip.org.uk probably several years ago.
Looking at my mail logs, I last got a legit email from PW in early
October, then the spam started on January 24th this year. Any ideas
how this might have happened?
Dictionary spamming of thousands of addresses at yourdomain.com? I get
those all the time in my mail log, including well known sites (e.g. I
get lots of spam to [email protected], even though it's not available
anywhere on the web).
Yup, good point. Though I just checked the logs again and of ~100
addresses that received delivery attempts in the past 8 months, the
majority were <random-digits>@domain -- none of the rest appear to be
dictionary attacks; they're all addressed to sites-i-have-u...@domain.
