Hello...

I admit I don't know much about X-RCPT-TO, but it's time I learn, because...

An employee is getting messages where the TO is 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and the X-RCPT-TO is 
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]". The username is the same.

She's gotten two so far, both from two different addresses, and each of the 
TOs are different. No attachments. The messages are suspiciously generic 
and short. For instance: "Fred, Thanks again for lunch it was great. 
Steve". (Oddly enough, "Steve" is not the same name as the message's TO). 
Looking up the TOs domain's A and MX record doesn't show anything unusual, 
and nothing points to my domain or ip. I suspect it's some ploy to get my 
employee to reply (which she has to one of them), to validate her address 
for spamming, but that's just a guess.

Can anyone help me understand X-RCPT-TOs, including thier 
vulnerabilities?  Can anyone explain these messages?

Thx,
D.
