Below is an email I received, but the weird thing is that both the sender and receiver are the same and NEITHER are my email? How can the "to" not be my email but i received it?

The TO name is a list with the name of the purported sender. The list is probably hundreds if not thousands of automatically generated e-mail addresses.


The sender's name and mail server name are probably forged. They might belong to a real user, and the unfortunate's mailbox is now overflowing with bounced messages that he did not send.


It is just spam. Delete it.


Have a nice day.
