Hello,
The email is sent from an authenticated user, so he knows your username and password for webmail.roadrunner.com. Are you sure that these addresses are not in your web mail account ?

Agreed.
If as you surmise, someone has compromised his roadrunner account, the addresses might have been harvested from any old mails on roadrunner. Roadrunner appears to support imap, which means a great deal of mail could have been harvested from there.
Obviously a password change at roadrunner is both important and too late.
I have never actually sent any email using the web interface and use POP3/SMTP for this account at home. There are no emails left on the roadrunner server once I "get mail". Those email addresses are NOT "held" anywhere but on my box. I do frequently use the web interface while at work to browse any messages that I will be getting in the morning and there I do enter a password. Or rather I have Firefox remember it. But that does not explain those email addresses. A couple of them in the list have not been used for 2-3 years. It's almost as if my machine has been compromised somehow. Is it possible that running Firefox on the box at home could somehow be allowing someone access to my machine. I do use the pipelight pluggin for Netflix and Amazon videos occasionally. Pipelight uses wine to run Windows pluggins? I suspect this occurred on my box at home somehow because of those email addresses only being held in the address book on my box. The passwords for webmail.roadrunner.com and the POP/SMTP servers are the same. Do Linux users now have to worry about browsing the web like Windows users do? ????
