No, but this is very common for any and all email
lists.  Bad software (virus) gets into somebody's
computer somewhere on the Internet and it emails more
copies of itself using "from" and "to" addresses from
the user's address book.  So, if it happens to be
someone who has tentec.com in their address book, ...
(Insert negative comment about Outlook and Outlook
Express.)

There's nothing you can do to stop this kind of thing,
but a good anti-spam filter should catch it. If you
display the full email headers, you can verify that
the email does not originate from the claimed "from"
address.
