I've been using unique addresses for these lists for a long time now,
and they do periodically get compromised.  I'm up to address #4.  This
most recent time I started to get a steady stream of Nigerian scam
type emails to my list address.

I have a lot of addresses at this domain and it's very rare for any of
them to get a spam.  There's no way a dictionary attack is hitting my
list address and no others.
