I suspect that this is a dumb question but how do I get Spam that is not even addressed to me or anyone I know? I've looked at the Raw Source on these emails and I cannot find my name or email address anywhere in the Raw Source. So how do these emails get to my email account? Is there some way that the Spammer can force an email to be delivered to every email account to the @yahoo addresses as an example?

Mostly just curious how all this works. Thanks in advance for the education.

Doug
