I have been on this list for years, I have my mail address published on 
my web site and many other places. I hardly get any spam at all, I don't 
use any spam filter like spamassasin on the server, only regex on header 
and blocking a few ip's - simple stuff. I have had one spam mail today.

I did briefly have a .com domain, and despite no external links and that 
I never used the address on public lists, it got almost instantly 
spammed. My conclusion is that you are more likely to be a target with a 
.com domain.

Cheers, Erik
