Do you mean the spam was from php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ?

Or do you mean that you know for sure that your address was harvested
from this list?

I've not noticed getting any extra spam since joining, personally. 
Don't forget that:

a) Emails you send to this list may be forwarded elsewhere, with your
address included
b) The email address you use for this list may have been 'brute-forced'
c) Some malicious oik may have posted your address somewhere else world-readable
d) You might have accidentally posted it someplace else (eg register
for access to our forums, we promise not to use it for blah blah blah,
please tick a box, etc, etc).
