Likely a virus that "spoofs" your email.

I have actually gotten one from non-existent emails, such as [email protected]...

Time to update your protection software!

but Greg did it just get itself into the mailing list or what? because it makes itself appear like its coming from nico members, and obviously enough of us on here are getting it. that sounds like one big coincidence, if thats what it is...

you guys probably got minor - major spyware on yer systems. One of the biggest mistakes you can make is to respond to a spam mail. Even if it's to tell em to "un-register you" because then they know someone is on the other end of their emails.
