Hi, I received this spam in my catch-all. As a webmaster of the domain it was sent to, I am really curious what the reason for this mail is. It was sent to a non-existent user "tania" on my domain - here I used mydomain.zzz - what do the sender want to achieve? Since many mail servers have stopped backscattering, not getting a bounce would not mean anything, would it?

And if this is off topic, where inb the StackExchange WOULD it be on topic?

fought. The field reveals to a man his own folly and despair, and victory 
is an illusion of philosophers and fools.
