It's possible that you might be getting spammed as a result of entering your e-mail in your posts: there are web-wandering "spiders" that spammers use to search web pages for e-mail addresses, which they then collect. Displaying your e-mail ANYWHERE is a risk, though, even, say, on your own web page. If you'd still like to include your e-mail address in your posts, you might want to get a Hotmail account or something for "public" use just to protect your main address from spammers.
That's all!
