Usually they're not aware they're being sent. Your address has
undoubtedly been harvested by 'bots and spammers (as has this Yahoo! one -
mail from it goes through Yahoo's! filters, then as I retrieve it, it is
filtered again by K9). It's a bit late for that address - I recommend either
setting it up as spam-bait or using some kind of spambot foiling mechanism.
I've found about equal levels of protection with the tools I use.
