It is not difficult to generate an unknown sender. As long as the pop3 server
accepts mails with no "from" address, that's all you need.
Better to remove the file, indeed.
Can't you tell from the headers in the mail where it came from? The popserver
should have added something to it (unless it's someone's own box doing the
sending).
