I finally received one of those spam e-mails that has the appearance of being sent from me to me. I have read here on the forums many times about this happening but can't seem to find the correct search terms to find the solution. It looks to this layman to have originated from Redmond, WA. I could be mistaken though. Here's the header if anyone can decipher any usable info.

Any ideas what steps I should take to prevent this in the future? I do have my default address set to fail.
Thanks, Mike
