Strange e-mails from Excite.com

My Web site has received 3 e-mails in the last week, via a Web Support form (believe it is a CGI form), from the Excite.com domain. All three e-mails asked verbatim: "WhatÂ’s your corporate HQ street address?" Has anyone else received similar messages in the past week? I don't know if it is anything--beyond a simple address request--but my company's supporters have not seen anything similar to these requests in the last year. I checked with Excite and I could not find the member names listed in their directory. Does anyone know of a possible exploit scenario? I was thinking of a send-mail attack. Am I being paranoid? Any thoughts, speculations would be greatly appreciated, Thanks, David
