See replies to you posted all of 80 minutes earlier about the SAME
problem. Don't start new threads. This is Usenet, not a prattling chat
room where posts disappear if you don't watch them.

Filters, to make it stop.

Email goes to the SMTP "RCPT TO:" email address. Always. That is the way
SMTP is designed. The MDA (Mail Delivery Agent), your receiving server, does
not always display this "RCPT TO:" email address; many times it will only
show a "To:" email address. But the "To:" is not a part of the addressing
scheme which directs where the email goes, it is just another part of the
SMTP "DATA" field.
 
Spammers always forge email headers, so what you see in the 'To:' and
'From:' headers doesn't mean a thing.

No need to ask more than once.
