Wow!  That few?! ;)  I've been getting these by the dozen for a few 
weeks now.  Of course, my addresses have been quite publicly available 
from before the days of e-mail spam.

As Bill pointed out, it's possible, although the simple address 
obfuscation that GNU mailman does has been rather effective until now.

One thing I noticed about your e-mail address, though, is that it might 
be prone to dictionary-based spamming.  Try using a less obvious name 
part of the address.  The name "muug" might not seem like a common 
enough word to be in a spammer's dictionary, but it is part of a fairly 
well-known domain (at least judging by the amount of spam we block on 
our server), so it may have made its way into some of their dictionaries.
