Only you can tell, from the headers, and from your own setup, whether the
junk-fraudmailers just spoofed your address or actually used your computer
to send it.

I think most of us have automatic filters that shunted the original into their
junkmail boxes.

And, yes, the junkmailers are finding it harder to get responses from the
buckshot approach, so they are getting a bit more sophisticated with the
headers. Until we, as a race, learn to quit fighting poverty with more
opportunities to make people poor, this kind of problem will only get
worse.

One of these days I'll get someone to pay me
to design a language that combines the best of Forth and C.
Then I'll be able to leap wide instruction sets with a single #ifdef,
run faster than a speeding infinite loop with a #define,
and stop all integer size bugs with a bare cast.

More of my delusions:
