Not quite. I was receiving them too (I don't know why, but they've recently
stopped coming). As far as I could tell, these mails were not to my email
address but instead delivered to an address like
"slug-track29@slug-list-00.nks.net"

Here's a "Received" header from one of the spams that I received a while back:

Received: from JGLTBDGIX ([186.104.35.147]) by slug-list-00.nks.net
 (8.13.3/8.13.3/Debian-9icb) with ESMTP id o4H1q1Jw010688 for
 <slug-track29@slug-list-00.nks.net>; Sun, 16 May 2010 21:52:07 -0400

Then it was sent to my address from there.
