Yes, this is spam and it's quite irritatting, but before anyone else gets too upset, this is most certainly coming from a *spoofed* email address. There's a pretty good explanation about how spammers pull this off at https://lifehacker.com/how-spammers-spoof-your-email-address-and-how-to-prote-1579478914 if you want to know. Yes there are ads, but this is a good introduction. No, I have no association with the web site.

Very seldom is someone's e-mail *account* ever "hijacked" or "stolen." Lists of (at one time) legitimate, active email addresses are for sale all over the web. These are often harvested from web mai clients, such as browsers. If someone is reading their mail in a browser and simply closes the browser, instead of explicitly logging off, a prt can be left open that exposes your address list to the outsode. The port may not stay open long, but it doesn't take long if a web crawler spots it.
