It takes a while for the spammers to get up to speed on new domains. Six months should see relatively little spam. I'd bet on reply-all and auto-complete as me

I'd bet on reply-all and auto-complete as means of perpetuating small mistakes in addresses. There's no cleanup mechanism for it.
- gravitronic 15y agoSlightly OT but interesting. This was true a year ago, unsure if it is still in effect today. In Gmail, if I send an email to Alice and Bob, but modify Alice's name to "Anne" (or anything else) in the email's "To:" field, and Bob replies all, Gmail saves the change to Alice's contact information in Bob's user list. Alice will now show up as Anne in his google talk and in his contact list.
