1) Malicious user. Someone I nailed for spamming recently set up a
bunch of forwarding accounts that pointed here and did nothing but spam
me with them. I wonder if they realised that's brutally easy to filter
and makes it harder for ISPs to listwash me and ignore spam. I consider
it a double-win.
2) Luser error. Luser sets up forwarding account, forgets about it.
Subscribes to list forgetting email address set up on that account is
forwarding someplace else.
