Why do I get bulk mail addressed to someone else?

Posted by admin under Spam Bulk Mail

Roger L asked:


I should only get mail that is sent to my exact e-mail address. Why does Yahoo put junk mail in my bulk mailbox that has only a partially correct address (only my first name and someone elses last name)? And is there a way to stop this from happening?

    Bulk mailers use the BCC field for addresses. It is hidden and can’t be seen. That is where your address is. They just pick one at random for the TO address.
