Default email attack?

I have started to get a small amount of spam that appear to be in German,
and what spurs me to write this message is that I have just received a
copy
of one (timed at 22.13) from addressed to
. Perhaps other readers have
received the same message.


Yes, I received it as well; not surprising given my address is in the
"To:"
line. I guess others are in the bcc line, such as you.

All the mails I have received the last two days (when I first began to get
them) all just have links to web pages in Germany.

What is a mystery to me is that messages addressed to the email address I
use for mewsgroups are supposed to be deleted from the ntlworld server.
Could this be that messages sent to me where my address does not appear
in
the address line are not so deleted?


That, I think, can be the only reason, as your address won't be in the
"To:" line

Thanks, Mike, and sorry to mention your name in this context. It does not
appear every time!
