Where does the spam come from??

My hotmail account get spammed like every other hotmail account but the thing that baffles me is that the emails are not even sent to me, they are sent to other people yet somehow end up in my mailbox. Here are some examples of "to" address that somehow end up in my mailbox.
G41CEsLR@netscape.net
2X8G7V1467iChR5@in-box.net
9b4BSN6jYCW@fox.com
seA6GexW@compuserve.com
2J5m78ot3v4@anfmail.com
8UW@alloymail.com
uT74Z0ExrMNa@gte.net

How does this crap end up in my box??

Are those names in the To field by themselves or with a bunch of others? if with a bunch of others most likely your name is in there somewhere.

Also have you checked out the headers? might be some info in that.

Are you sure thats not what the "to:" says for a reply? It normally doesnt display the "to:" for stuff in your inbox, only to the person that sent it

They are stand alone addresses. I get emails directed to 1 person and 1 person alone.

Those addresses posted are taken from the email headers.
