The first why is - they're not paying attention and this was probably
due to some dictionary attack that picked up the address.

The second why is - I don't know, yet. I would need to see the message
to figure that out. Please zip up a raw copy of the message and send
it to support@ so that I can research it.

Most likely we've just not seen the message here for some reason. For
example, we may have filtered it with some rule that you are not
getting or are not using. In that case, it would get blocked here but
not on your system.

The second possibility is that we've skipped the message for some
safety reason (trying to avoid false positives) though it seems
unlikely in this case.

Once I see it I will be able to tell more.

Thanks,
