There's a public WHOIS record that's associated to every domain registered that spammers mine for both your email address as well as your physical mailing address.

Best way to stop this kind of spam is to simply pay for privacy protection on your domains. Privacy Protection is an annual, per domain service that shouldn't add more than a couple dollars to your yearly renewal costs.
