I've gotten spam "from" myself!
I also get them from addresses that forward to me (such as
pointskeeper@midiv.org) from which it is impossible for me to send.
Your address is being spoofed. This is why the old line about "trusted
addresses that you know" is no longer valid. As a result I never open an
attachment to a message that has no text. I have, on occasion, sent a
message back saying "did you send me an attachment? if so send it again
because it was deleted here" while explaining why bald attachments are not
good things to send. I organize my inbox by subject and can pretty well tell
from any message's subject whether it's real or spam. As I'm scanning my
inbox, the cursor hovers over the Delete icon.
