I haven’t been able to find any information about this online, so I’m posting it here.

I’ve been receiving emails TO addresses like @icloud.com.

I’ve checked all my hide-my-email aliases (including the archived ones) and I don’t own these addresses so I cannot disable them.

I’m wondering if anyone else has run into this issue?

    Are there multiple addresses in the TO field? I don’t see how you would be getting email sent to someone else’s account.

    My best guess is that they are sending the emails to hundreds of addresses, and yours happens to be one of them, but you are seeing the addresses of other people who also got it.

      There is always only one address in the TO field. It’s addresses like @icloud.com. The thing is, I don’t own that @icloud.com email, so I’m not sure why I’m receiving it :/
