The spammers send email with your registered email address to the
tracker. The tracker checks whether the From field is a registered
address of some user, and if so, it accepts the message. Now that
you have changed your email address, spammers would have to use the
new address in From. Since they don't know what the new address
is, the spam will be rejected.
