I'd guess your address was scraped off of some website hosting a mailing
list archive, that's one of the many methods spammers have of collecting
addresses.  I imagine that your subscription to the PLUG list and then
spam receival was coincidental, I googled your email address and it
popped up in a few places from Nov 2000 on what looks like a checkpoint
firewall mailing list.
