Thanks! That's (in a way) good to know. Unfortunately I don't really have much 
in the way of contextual information since Google apps doesn't provide forensic 
failure reports for DMARC. On the other hand, if this is a genuine Paypal 
system in action, I can be confident that there's only one Paypal account under 
the symposion.co.uk account (mine), so that should probably help them track it 
down. I have just had a confirmation that a refund I made has been issued via 
eCheque to someone, so I wonder if it was something to do with that. Do the 
relevant Paypal folks read this list or should I contact them independently?

Cheers,

Lucian
