That was an address at passport.com...looks like it was generated as a form
of "pseudo-VERP". Checking for an MX at passport.com is unproductive
(although it is now easy to suspect that the relevant Microsoft name server
is in Tukwila, WA).

Was it a Spam message? I don't know, it belongs to a user and I have no
valid reason to peak (if it is still on the system). I suspect it wasn't
Spam.
