There is another reason for this situation happening as well - BCC messages.
Have found in the past, that if a mass mailed email was sent out to a number of BCC addresses, all you see are the SEND and a dummy or phony TO address, without all the BCC addresses showing at all. However, if one or more of the BCC addresses were a problem and there were delivery problems, everyone on the list, whether a seen or unseen address, gets the bounced message. Can not tell you how many times I have gotten some message like this that I had absolutley NO idea what was going on, till I got to realize this was the case that was happening. The best solution, whatever the original cause, is to do as Keith has sugguested and just get rid of the message to the trash, and empty your trash, just to be on the safe side. Ralph These are being *spoofed* by another machine that IS infected. When you get these, the best thing is to quickly delete them and empty the trash. Its from the Kl*z vir*s on another machine.
