I took the trouble to post details of what is in my view a serious violation of email rules, as well as an apparent security breach. I also published the headers in the hope that it would help somebody to track down the source of these messages. In return I get flamed.

For your information, the email address I obfuscated wasn't mine - I was in the bcc list. As for the other email address you mentioned, I can assure you that it is genuine. Have you perhaps considered that the owner may have had her PC infiltrated, and is unaware of this?

I won't be reading - or contributing to - this thread again. Thanks to everybody else for the useful discussions.
