This has been going for ages, in different forms. A few years ago the same thing happened to me, except it was a letter, not an email!

How do they find the adresses to send that spam? Anyone can explain it to me?

either.. someone at one of the places you sent mail to passed your address on, or you email is listed on company website ?, or , quite possibly you got hit by a dictionary attack on your domain name.. it really depends on the complexity of the name you have used if a dictionary attack would work ;)
