You posted a thread one day saying you had been hacked. How did you know? I have this wierd email in my box as if I sent it to myself and I am guessing if I click the links porn will come up judging from the subject line. I am assuming I was hacked but not sure.

...but there is an explanation now. My wife accessed our email account from work to send info home and didn;t type anything on it to let me know it was from her. The subject is how Treasure Island in Vegas is scrapping the Pirate Show for a sexual show of some sort.
Now I feel stupid.

Someone can send you e-mail addressed to yourself if DNS reverse lookups are not enabled.
Reverse lookups basically do the opposite of DNS. Instead of translating a number to a name. It translates the name to a number to verify the IP address in the DNS table.
There is another way to do it as well but I forget how.
SMTP relay would allow for similar results but your e-mail provider would be black-balled from sending internet e-mail
