Yes, it was spam, and it was caught by SpamAssassin. It was some bitcoin plot or something.

The characters were not anything I could read, and the few I could make out were of a south-east asian descent.

My concern is that the email APPEARED to come from me! I was listed as the sender.

I examined the message source, against other valid emails sent by this user, and there wasn't anything that I could clearly see as the reason or how this was done. I have checked against password hacked sites, and the email password of the user doesn't seem to be compromised. I have only received maybe 2-3 of these emails in the past year, and only on this user--all caught by spam assassin.

I guess I am concerned, because I don't how this happened.

Here is my best stab at where the problem could be.

Here is a clean email:

Received: from example.net (unknown [192.168.1.10])
        by mail.example.com (Postfix) with ESMTPSA id D7C3F1980059
        for <do...@example.com>; Mon, 25 Oct 2021 03:42:29 +0200 (CEST)

Here is a non-clean email:

Received: by mail.example.com (Postfix, from userid 1005)
        id F1E621982CA9; Sun, 13 Jun 2021 15:32:28 +0200 (CEST)

Just trying to figure out if my system is compromised, thanks!
