Well here is a possible explanation: dynamic IP addresses.
I used to get similar messages all the time when I had a dynamic IP. It seems people in chat rooms figure the addresses are permanent, and send mail to it - normally these get dumped in the postmaster's box. I stopped getting such mail when I found an ISP with free static IP addresses.
Just $0.02
