   You are getting this because you are mucking about in your bulk mail, which is SPAM! when you open spam, you trigger a notice back to the spammer so he now has your actual email id and address. He collects and sells that information to other spammers and you get even MORE spam, this time, addressed to you! Got it? You brought a lot of this on yourself. Experts say:
   Any email that you are the least bit suspicious about should be deleted immediately. Don’t let curiosity get the better of you. Simply opening a spam email out of curiosity could alert the spammers that you have an active email address (they probably didn’t know it before), to which they will undoubtedly send TONS of spam mail in the future. Open emails ONLY from those you know and trust.

   Lots of spammers have automated scripts that send emails out using a dictionary attack. This means their script just sends out tons of emails to various combinations of numbers and letters at different domains. Kind of like if you just started calling phone numbers starting with 100-100-0000 then 100-100-0001, etc. They don’t know what is a valid email address and what is not. When you reply to one (try to unsubscribe, or replying back telling them how you **** them), you are now confirming your email address is a real, live email address. They have special lists of those, because they know they’re guaranteed real. They then sell those lists to other spammers at a premium. Then you get more spam!
