						Lately I have been getting a lot of spam e-mail addressed to a CindyQ, or Cindy and James, or some other variation on 'Cindy'.  Why does this happen, and how can I stop it?
					
				 
				
						
														
					
												Huh.
Could be that someone entered a random address for one of those online quizzes, for example, entered their name as cindy and/or james, and lo and behold that is your address too.
Or, more likely than random, cindy and/or james' address is just a character or two different from yours, and they typoed.
I'm not sure if you can do anything beyond blocking the senders.
