I just got a weird email from someone I don't know accusing me of spamming
them. Back in October, I got a bunch of "undeliverable mail" messages from
various places (mainly Yahoo) containing spam that I didn't send and
concerning addresses that I never used. After a flurry of email to
Mindspring, they wrote me and said, in effect, that they had all the
information they needed. I thought the issue was solved. I haven't gotten
any more undeliverable mail messages.

Tonight, though, I got this email....

I'm fond of my email address and don't want to have to change it. I'm also
willing to go to some lengths to protect it. Any suggestions?

And -- is this a common thing, hijacked email addresses?
