This is most probably UCE/UBE (Unsolicited Commercial/Bulk E-Mail).
To:
From: receipt@toushi-radar.co.jp
Needless to say that I don't know neither the sender nor the receipent.
Of course. The From: and To: Header Lines can chosen nearly arbitrarily.
This may make sense sometimes. Hey you wrote "To: suse-security@suse.com"
but i got it.
Have a look at http://www.allnews.de/report/tips/headerfaq.shtml (german)
to learn more about headers and Spam.
