Ok so I go to bed and when I get up I have \*\*x14 \*\*SPAM mails in my inbox for my ISP account.  
This an account that is not used, other than to recieve the monthy bill.

Below is the info from one of the messages, however the TO: is not me, so why is it comming to my inbox ?

There were **x6** to that address.

To: \<c\_mybanana@iprimus.com.au\> **x1**

To: \<c\_rope@iprimus.com.au\> **x1**

I was under the impression that the to: should be to me. Am I wrong about this, can anyone comment on why **x8** of the **x14** e-mails are not addressed to me ?

Thanks
