Out of interest, how does the spam find a self hosted email? If i, for example, only submitted it one two sites where it was never leaked, and i never publicly posted it?

I mean that YOUR emails would possibly end up in spam of say GMail users.

Especially funny considering little spam comes from self hosted email.
