I think we may need more information. I understand you to be saying
that if you send mail to spot at whatever.example.com that it is
delivered to gilmore.126 at whatever.example.com.

Is Mailman involved? Are there any Mailman headers in the message you
receive?

In any case, here are some possibilities.

spot's home directory contains a .forward file with
"gilmore.126 at whatever.example.com" (or just "gilmore.126") in it.

There is an alias in the MTA's aliases of the form

spot: gilmore.126

You created a Mailman list named spot with you as a member.

You munged an existing list alias of the form

list:  "|/path/to/mail/mailman post list"

to be something like

spot:  "|/path/to/mail/mailman post list"

instead.

What are the full headers (including all Received: headers) of the
message you receive?
