Uhh forget it.

It's just a misaimed new generation of spam. Maybe some funkup or test.
Typically, what appears to be the source(s) are real people whose
addresses have been 'hyjacked' and faked.
These happy people (they're innocent) get the complaints and the
bounces when the e-mail type is used.
One of the objects is to become non-filterable.
Joy joy joy :(
