I get a ton of that kind of spam, but then, my email address is
widely published. (If it weren't for SpamAssasin, I'd get no work done.)

I just did a google search for your email address, and it popped up
in a couple places, mainly:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=94ou9i%241p0%241%40nnrp1.deja.com

so we may not be able to pin the blame on this mailing list;
it's possible some spammer harvested your name from a google
search of old usenet posts.
