1276743 2012-05-22 12:02:00 Sounds like the start of a scam rather than spam. Agent_24 (57)

When ever I get an email for a postage from overseas, I usally chech the package number and destination and track the item manually from the carriers website.

Hi Neil
I have noticed since I have AVG 2012 which has an option for blocking tracking sites turned on that the amount of spam I use to get has slowed right down.

1276748 2012-05-22 22:46:00 I've never understood how the spam that appears to be addressed to a similar but different E-mail than mine gets through. the Yahoo filter is ok though, my spam folder grows faster than the inbox does. dugimodo (138)

I think they do something tricky with the email headers
