The To: field showing in the headers is not necessarily the recipient in the envelope, i.e., the "RCPT TO:[EMAIL PROTECTED]" command. Look carefully at spam you receive. Often you won't even show up in the To: field.

This is an account that had been deleted about two years ago from the system. Since then the system had crashed and had to be restored. The mail itself is spam but my major concern about this one is the receipt of mail destined for another account. I've looked at the mail header and the recipient is indeed indicating another recipient. I've included the header below. Anoyone has any explanation for what happened here and does this indicate some weakness in my setup that I should be concerned about?
