Just a technical note here on the way email is delivered. The To: field is only used on the sending side and not for delivery. Basically the sending mailer uses the To: field to figure out what to write on the outside of the envelope that gets sent. Then when it gets to your mailbox the mail server on your machine takes it out of the envelope and sticks it in your mailbox for you to read. It works this way so that stuff like CC: and BCC: and multiple reciepients can work.
To hide their identity spammers are just like low grade junk mailers. It is easier to write a generic letter make copies and then write different names on the envelopes.
Looking at the messages you have had marked as spam I would have to say that they look like spam to me! Now if you look at the last message that
bobw posted you will see that there is a valid To: and From: field, it is that personal touch that makes all the difference.
So if you really want to vent your bile you can go after the people at vintagegamer and macadict for improperly generating the email they are sending you. If they sent conformant email it would get through
Well vintagegamer may not still make it through since it looks like you have put them on your blacklist. If you read your email through a web interface sometimes there is a button which says something like "I don't ever want mail from these guys!" might you or someone using your account have clicked that on accident?
