Can you post the headers here? If you don't want to post your email
address, be careful because it will appear in the headers.
It is actually possible that they are from different people.
They could be different users behind the same NAT router. Or, possibily
somebody could be spoofing an IP address. Or finally, and most unlikely,
by chance two different people in succession have emailed you from the
same dynamically-assigned IP address.
