I have an Email server of my own (for LAN and forum testing use)
It doesn't look like it was mass-mailed because it was delivered to me from the Yahoo.com.tw SMTP server.
The odd thing, it was sent to an address that doesn't exist on my server(davidk) and caught by my "catch-all" account.
I never even had that address written ANYWHERE!
The only option I can think of is that someone who "saw" me here sent me an email to my.username@my.server.
The problem is that both the email and the site it points to is in not in English, so I can't understand anything there!
Did anyne try to send me an email from the address mkmk@yahoo.com.tw ? |

| I get this kind of thing all the time. I often get them addressed to several different addressses at the same address, none of which exist or have ever been used, but they obviously use some kind of name pattern software to create email address. |

| the name was davidk, so it's wierd, because this is one of 3 places where i'm known as david k, so it's extreamly wierd, and i got it from a yahoo smtp server, so it's kinda difficult to send spam through it, isn't it? |

Usually the email headers are forged anyway in Spam mails. I would bet that yahoo doesn't have a .tw address :)
