Over recent weeks i have been recieving a lot of emails from what i think are sub systems for mail routing.  
I am pretty sure that most of these are spoof’s  
Now i have had a couple of clients on the phone asking about these emails appearing in there in box.  
Most of the emails has some sort of data as below
