Can you elaborate on how a guy (spammer) manages to place a Rolex
SPAM in my mail box, without having my address visible. Does he
actually have my address and disguise it, or is the same SPAM going
into ALL Comcast e-mail boxes?
Most of the time spammers actually have your address, although
sometimes they resort to dictionary type attacks.
Email gets transported IAW the delivery information on the SMTP 'envelope'.
Once it's delivered to your ISP, the envelope is discarded.
Common email clients always set the delivery address equal to the
'To:' address except when using 'BCC:'. Spammer email programs
are quite sophisticated, but the delivery address is set similar to the
'BCC:' mechanism.
