RE: Weird spam emails with invalid addresses

[Eric]

Spammers purposely send them this way, sometimes causing the recipient to
open it, thinking it contains some info on another person. They do this by
overwriting some of the header with bogus info. If you check the smtp log
you will be able to see everyone that this was addressed to, including the
bogus addresses.
