Unlikely. As the message is UCE (which by contrast to spam *is* an
abbreviation), and its content is probably even fraud, it is more likely
that this is an intentional misuse of PHPMailer, or a misconfiguration of
the MTA used by it, in a clumsy attempt to prevent the spam message from
being recognized as coming from a suspicious host. The underlying
assumption would be that you do not filter out your own e-mails.
