[pure-silver] Re: hi

That's my case :-(
I do receive many "bounce-back" emails from servers that either don't know the 
destination address or reject the email as spam.
The "From to" and "Reply to" are my email but the sender name seems random.
None of these emails are sent from my computer and none go to people I know. 
none from my address book by the way.

From a computing point of view, this is very easy to do, for my job I developed 
programs that send error logs daily by email to internal users and all look 
like they were sent by our helpdesk. Our helpdesk never sent one of these ...

And, as an individual, there is little to do against this ...
