I received this today as Undeliverable Mail for subject and Sender as 
Postmaster. The problem is it does not correspond with anything that I 
sent. On one of the addresses, it gave what appeared to be an IP in 
hyphenated format. When I did an nslookup, I got hte following: nslookup 
62.16.0.165
Server:         64.94.1.1
Address:        64.94.1.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
165.0.16.62.in-addr.arpa        name = host-62-16-0-165.soborka.net.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
0.16.62.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns.soborka.net.
0.16.62.in-addr.arpa    nameserver = ns2.soborka.net.
ns.soborka.net  internet address = 62.16.0.1
ns2.soborka.net internet address = 91.90.15.4


The following is the actual message cut and pasted from my Thunderbird

Can someone translate this for me? And how did I get this? Also, it may 
be coincidental, but the To: email address contains my initials 
(hsc at automation.com.cn).

Any responses would be greatly appreciated.
Signed the extreme paranoid.
