How did a user reach my private email?

Today I received a Software support question to my private email when I am not even a software tech volunteer here. His email (by the long headers) came straight from him to me. He seems legit but I am wondering how he used my email address when I don't publish it in this site or in my CP settings (only private settings). So how did a new person come to this site and get my email to email directly?

Users can send you emails via vbulletin and your email address is not revealed if that option is turned on.
