Javier, I have not seen anything either on the group list so far, so I hope I can assume it's not related to the list.
Without looking at the email headers of the recipient you refer to, this generally would be the result that your email password has been compromised on your email provider's mail server. This is typically a message with content not relevant with your email address as the sender (spoofed email address) Expanding the headers will usually show a different sender or reply to. Some receiving email servers can reject such email, some mark as spam, some let it right through, depends on what additional tools the service provides to control spam. My email provider forced me to change all 40 email passwords in our system to a combination of upper case, lower case, numbers, and symbols with a minimum of 8 characters, as two accounts were compromised. Gone are the days of easy passwords. For sensitive accounts, two factor authentication is a great option if available. Hope this helps a little for all.

I did not keep his name or e-mail in my contacts so I know it did not come from my Outlook contact list. I know other associates have received similar mails and I am not sure how this happened, the sender appears to be a UK domain. I have contacted my email provider and all the proper security measures have been taken and I have scrubbed all my computers using 3 different anti-virus packages. In any case, my emails always include a signature block with my information (see below) which sometimes includes my company information as well, so if you received one that did not include this information, you can safely assume it did not come from me. Amazing that we still do not have the tools to properly eliminate this type of issues.
