I would like someone to explain a strange thing that is happening with
my incoming mail.
There is a group of email addresses that could well be on a contact
list. I have a evolution contact list with those e-mail addresses on
them.
I am getting a series of identical e-mail messages that are identified
as coming from people on that list and seem to be addressed to an e-mail
address that is not one I am familiar with. Despite that on the surface
the e-mail is not coming to me the first line in the header reads:
X-Apparently-To: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx via 67.195.15.110; Mon, 16 Apr
2012 06:47:30 -0700
Others on the contact list are getting the same message.
What in the e-mail headers would allow me to identify what is going on?
Or how this is happening?
I think you are saying that you don't see yourself on the To: or Cc: list...but you
are receiving the email. Correct?
If so, this is because you were listed as a Bcc: when the email was sent. Your
address was in the RCPT list of the SMTP envelope. Under certain circumstances,
usually when no To: is in the header, some email servers will add the X-Apparently-To
header to the message. This behavior is most noted with SPAM sent by robots.
And indeed the "via 67.195.15.110" bit indicates the mail came from a
Yahoo server:
[root@prophead ~]# host 67.195.15.110
110.15.195.67.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer web180512.mail.gq1.yahoo.com.
