I think it's a side-effect of one of those viruses that uses the mailbox
addresses; in that code's broadcasting of itself, it managed to send the list
address to a spammer, or someone who took the names and sold them to a

someone who had the address in their mailbox, perhaps from an article or
posting somewhere else.
