I had just created this email address last wednesday. I gave it to no one

soul has this address.


How is it then that just tonight I got my first spam message to this
address, after merely a week?

The archives, no doubt, at http://mail.maclaunch.com/lists/powerbooks/List.html


publicly accessible, and with email addresses unprotected - once it's up there it's a harvestable email address.
