Bizarre MyDoom scenerio?

I recently setup an e-mail account specifically for people to submit photos of a particular band that is on tour. The e-mail address was in the html code (ie. a "Click Here") on the news page for the band. Note that this e-mail address never existed before.

Very soon after, I begun getting a high amount of MyDoom virus e-mails. I'd say I get about 15-20 per day. Why is this happening since this particular e-mail address has never sent out e-mails to anyone? The e-mail accounts sending the MyDoom virus to this e-mail address are not ones that have submitted photos, they are totally random. I even got one from another user on the same domain as the photos e-mail account (on my server). He said he updated his virus definitions and scanned his drive and it reported nothing.

Ideas?
