Yes - that's where your email address has been forged to post spam. Last
year at one stage, before my ISP dealt with the problem, I got 28000
(not joking!) of this sort of email in one month. You can work out what
that was on a daily basis. I was worried that my ISP might think I had
in fact been delivering spam and might toss me off, but they weren't
concerned about that as it was such a common occurrence.
Mercifully it has dropped to a few emails of that nature per week.
Spamsieve does a good job.
