If its an email account off of a domain you own you might want to look into it. A friend of mine is a sysadmin at a large research institute and they recently had their mail servers hacked by a group of email spammers. The spammers sent out tens of thousands of emails to random addresses.

The institute only found out their servers had been compromised after the all outgoing emails from the institute started bouncing back due to the fact that several ISPs had blackballed them. The companies that run the blackball lists aren't all that concerned with getting a site off the lists once it ends up on it so it might be worth it you to look into it a bit.
