I received the other day a wierd email. It was a returning email

apparently telling me that I had send an email to a company and that my

name was an arabic name...so someone used the nickname aqesa and the

email aqesa, put an arabic name and then send something to a

company.. the mail deamon or whatever delivery system returned it to

me...this arrived in . I normaly use an other email and another

email client such as eudora since I am mac user...but it was quite

wierd indeed.

But it's unsettling that you're having this problem on a Mac. Macs are supposed

to be relatively immune to this crap.
