And there is yet another perspective of this situation that has occurred
with my own mail. I recently received a very unpleasant email insisting
that I not send any future mail "of this type" to that party. The mail
was some pornography but it was sent with my email address as the sender.

As I look over my email, I will see, from time to time, some junk being
sent to me from myself, or someone who has stolen my email using a
software program that runs through the internet and gathers up address
as a machine sucks up leaves from the ground.

It is all part and parcel of the challenge to and theft of identities.
