A question regarding spam.

I run Spampal and generally just delete the spam but decided to have a look at some of the headers after reading the post linked to earlier.

I notice that a number of spam msgs are not actually addressed to me, for example if I were joe.bloggs@ntl the emails may be addressed to j.bloggs@ntl or joe2.bloggs but some have no similarity to my email address at all (apart from @ntl) nor can I see any cc with my actual address.

Can someone explain this please?
