Lightbulb I think
that some spammers copy your address using a program,
so it will not be blocked. That way they get in.
Sometimes the spam will only have part of my address in it.
Sometimes all of it.

I don't think you are "invaded"...I've had these now and then
and I think they are harmless.

I have an unusual name in my email, and sometimes I get
spams "from myself". Just don't download them, or open them,
or click on anything. I just delete them out.
