One thing you will notice about these mails, if you see the details of
the mail-headers (u will have to click on "show details") that
although the name of the sender is XYZ (which is a real person), the
email address is not that person's address.
You can do better than deleting such mails - mark them as spam! This
way, such mails will automatically be considered spam in the future.
There is nothing we can do about it. Gmail guys try their best to hide
our email addresses on the forum, but clever guys do find workarounds
to get the email addresses of all members, which are not difficult.
Afterall, our posts goes as email to members, if they so desire. So,
any member or fake member can get the email addresses of people who
post, and misuse it later.
