RE: [PCTECH] Spam from myself?!

Unless their spam filter rejects/hides/deletes bounce backs.  :)

I use mailwasher and accidentally blacklisted myself because of a spam that
I got that had a totally different name in the from, but the underlying
email address was my own.  

I don't even look at messages with undeliverable or bounce email in the
subject anymore.  so many of them were spam (and some with virus
attachments) it just was not worth opening all of them.  The downside is
that I will not know if someone who does not reply to my email is ignoring
me or did I just fat finger their address.

youch ... just reject them.  If they get a bounce back, they'll double check
their address and resend it.
