Problem #1: I get piles of junk mail, around 200 per day, and Magma traps most 
of them. Of the ones that get through are messages composed of a sentence of 
random words from senders I don't know. Looks like someone has compromised 
various address books. Is this a virus or something of the like.

Problem #2: Following is a copy of a message that I received. I do not send 
any mail from catholic at catholicmissionleaflets.org, although it is a valid 
address. Can someone tell me what is going on here?
