Farrar, It is not usual to see the "address" of a Japanese based receiver (RCPT to: ). If you have no firewall (other than that from Windows) and do not use Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware software, I'm afraid your system got a "cold", being infected with malware, spyware or other dangerous software. Go to Sunbelt-Software.com (US based company) and download and install their protective software and check your system with it. For Anti-Virus you could use AVG (free version) that also has a very good name. You can try this software free for a certain period of time. After that you will have to pay, but the fees are wallet-friendly. Hope you(r system) will recover soon.
