Often, the originating email address is spoofed, so it is not actually
coming from that user. In the 18 years I have had another email
address, I have had that address used several times as the sending
address for spam or malware, and it certainly is annoying! In any
case, you will certainly know when your address is being misused in
this fashion!

Everybody, please practice safe computing! Learn to use Linux, or buy a Mac!
