ahhh, yes... those may be the fake bounce posts used to try to get folks to
respond to them... they are just another format of social engineered spam...
the only real thing to do is just delete them...

these may be valid or may have been at one time... most likely harvested from
one or more of your posts and used to try to make the fake bounce look
legitimate...

yeah, that address is given in such a manner that it looks like the
chillicooks.org address...

i used to get over 500 spams a day when i was actively fighting spam... today i
rarely get any... it was a long and hard fought battle... i even contributed
evidence against several well known spammer's trials... today i still have the
same email address i started with and little to no spam... i still maintain
vigilence, though... have to because it doesn't take more than one wrong step
and some foolish spammer will find themselves on the wrong end of my spamhunter
barrel O:)
