The contact list of the person you emailed in 2017 was obtained by a spammer, who then sent you spam.

  OP here. I only sent 3 emails from this very specific @fastmail.com email address in the past and it was way back in 2017. The email in question has never received email with the exception of this weird email in German language within a week of visiting Germany.

    You said <alias>@<user>.<domain>.<tld> above, so which one is it?
