Inbox contains messages not addressed to me.
In Outlook Express 6 (6.00.2900.2180) I received inbox messages addressed to
other e-mail addresses of people I don't know. Also, I appear to be on the receiving end of e-mails that start with a garbled picture with nonsense words all over it and farther down in the body of the message it is either personal messages or in a lot of cases discussion of financial subjects and/or stocks. Sometimes it is addressed to my e-mail address. Any suggestions on how to make this stop? |

You cannot stop this at source, so your only hope is to stop it at your end before it gets to OE, either by having spam filtering at your ISP/mailhost or on your own machine. It's very easy to send a message to someone without their address appearing in the To: header - the To: header is never actually used by mail servers for determining who the message is being sent to, recipient addresses are passed in the SMTP "envelope" outside of the message itself.

Delete such messages, unread/unopened. About the only thing you can do
about it is to... Filter /in/ your messages http://www.mindspring.com/~majik/messagerules.htm -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE, OE, Security, Shell/User) Norma wrote: In Outlook Express 6 (6.00.2900.2180) I received inbox messages addressed to other e-mail addresses of people I don't know.
