After reading the above response, I have two questions for you.

1. How old are you? [1]
2. Exactly how are you related to Tracker? [2]

While what you have suggested is certainly possible, I tend to agree
with Jim that the cause is more than likely from forged FROM headers.

[1] The "... because it wasn't you who thought of it." comment sounds
like something a 6 year old would say.

[2] Tracker believes every single common computer "glitch" or "issue"
is caused by "hackers installing open servers and VPN's etc on victims
machines", when there can be a perfectly legitimate reason - in this
case, forged FROM headers.
