I just recently started getting Spam on my BB (after receiving none for my first two years with a BB), and like others have never given out my @tmo.blackberry.net address to anybody.
I noticed that (so far) I'm never the "To:" recipient, it's always To someone else at rogers.blackberry.net or mycingular.blackberry.net or verizon.net etc. so it seems to point towards some kind of pan-carrier hack/leak from RIM.
To add to that hypothesis, my last name is *very* uncommon - I'm the only person on the entire West Coast with my last name, and as far as I can tell (from searches etc), the only person with my first and last name on the planet. The odds of a dictionary hack guessing my first name and last name @tmo.blackberry.net are pretty steep.
Has anyone queried RIM or Tmobile etc. about the sudden SPAM issue? In the meantime I'm going to try and set up a rule to block it.
