That's right, Tso, I don't think it's Sunny's site either 'cause I also got the same kind of messages you did and that was before I knew this site. Don't know where those funny mails came from - could be from anywhere; searchtools (that daemon thingy?) scan the internet for e-mailaddresses - and was as surprised as you at first. After I looked at them carefully (not touching any attachments ofcourse), I just deleted them.

One thing I noticed as this happened was that the spam guard quit working properly. It still does select junkmail pretty well and puts them in a separate trashcan, but in case one of those happen to end up in the ordinary mailbox, you can't report (by clicking a bar and deciding if to report or just block the address of the sender) it's junk. Anyway, I noticed if you just delete them they quit coming. Norton by the way is good.
