You mean it wasn't done on purpose!? RATS!

This is a new tactic being used by those sleazes. They did not really access your e-mail account, just your account name (they really don't care who doesn't get the message or who replies; they just want people to click on their sites). They then "spoofed" the header... replacing the sender's name with your account name.

These scumbags did this to me recently and I got a similar undeliverable e-mail notice showing a list of several dozens of people whose accounts were no longer valid or over quota. None were in my address book, however. I also got about 60 really interesting replies. Sadly, all by two were from guys who thought I was a female and, tragically, the two respondents who replied and who were female were both also mightily disappointed that I am a guy.

You can't even win when you don't try, it seems.

Dispassionately yours,
Dah Listless Lion
