Odd then, that I get up thismorning to 12 new e-mails sent to this e-mail!

All I can think of is that you chose a common email name and these junk emails are just selecting it at random and have been doing so even before it existed.
I have had my NTL email address for over 3 years now and have given the address out (although I do not use it as my main email account) and I think I have not yet received 12 junk emails in total. The username is fairly long and probably not that common.
On the other hand, my main email account is on Yahoo and has a 4 letter username and I receive over 100 spam emails a day (luckily Yahoo's filter catches 99% of them)!
