[Spambayes] questions

[Kenny Pitt]

Spammers rarely do anything without forging or disguising it in some
way. In this case, the address in the To field is either forged or is
another unwilling recipient of the spam. The spammer then uses the Blind
Carbon Copy (BCC) feature to send the message to you, and probably lots
of other poor souls, without your address showing up in the mail
headers.
 
Hopefully SpamBayes is filtering these out for you, though. <wink>

I don't know if you will reply to this.  I wonder if you can tell me how
(porno) emails get through to my mailbox when they are actually
addressed to someone else?  (cjreeves or cjreid or similar)?Thanks for
anything you can tell me!
