[PLUG-TALK] What do email senders want to accomplish with this?

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Their target is  "hojohomingrits at nike.com"

They forge Hojo's name on the spam as sender

They use a baloney recipient address  on your domain

You bounce the message to Hojo

Basic simple reflector spam.

Every day my postfix logs include results like these:
Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local recipient table (total: 4)
            1   6eaa6ad-c333-ec4a-c735-8da9f669f18 at appl-ecosys.com
            1   91b92b7d-6e29-cfd1-313e-32ed05abcb2 at appl-ecosys.com
            1   fe17119c-34cf-87ef-e5bf-2e31e83f8c at appl-ecosys.com
            1   hashiguchiboldizsar at appl-ecosys.com

What might the senders want to accomplish using such user names?

Puzzled,

Rich
