    I'm interested to read this as I got two copies of this a couple of evenings ago. It appears to be 'Registration Information' from easynet.net. As I'm not a pundit on email headers I discussed this with my ISP and Easynet.

    I appreciate the remarks people have made about this meaning my email address being in someone's address book, but this is rather stranger than that.

    I have the option of my ISP username after the @ sign and I tend to give different prefixes to different people/companies ie andy@, work@, msx@, pofz@, etc. This means that about 12 companies and no individuals have enq@...

    So I'm wondering if the email address has been lifted from a company's servers that are domain-registered with easynet, or does this not imply any connection. You'd expect people's work computers in average sized companies to have more security than friends that you can't persuade to install firewall, anti-spyware, WUpdate, etc but presumably the most likely thing is that one person's work computer at one company is infected.

    This is part of the header
