Is it just me, but I've had 2 Ebay Phishing e-mails to this e-mail address that I only use for this mail list. Both mails where from Comcast users !!
Mail to this list is reposted on the web and through multiple mail-to-news gateways. So your address was likely harvested.
As to Comcast, it's a multitude of Windows users on high-speed connections, many of them running infected machines that are broadcasting viruses and spam.
If you have your own mailserver, most of this can be rejected by using greylisting or by rejecting mail from dynamic Comcast IP addresses, while still allowing mail coming from Comcast's mail servers.
