I am not sure what the deal is, but today I received a spam mail that was sent to my e-mail address that I only use at vbulletin.org. It's not some random address that a spammer can accidentally send mail to. Somehow the address must have been leaked, and I wonder how. Anyways, here is the spam message (without links):

You have the ability for members to send your email. I am not sure how this happened, but I am certain that vBulletin.com doesn't give out emails.
Either they have just tried the email address (i even get spam on some accounts i had created but have not even used!), or someone has contacted you using the Email contact option and you have replied to it (or an automated reply was sent).
I don't see any other way someone could have got hold of your address.
Many spammer use random and pseudo-random e-mail addresses to spam.
They split login and domain parts, and switch them around to get new e-mail addresses. I'm getting spam on e-mail accounts I did not even create!
Good thing that I have server-side spam filter...
Are you seeing variants of your email address in the CC location? - which is typical of a blanket spammer. Or do you have a catch-all set up to your account?
