Actually, if a domain calls itself "unknown.com", it cannot possibly be up
to any good .......

But that is besides the point.

Have you looked at unknown.com. They say they've been
in business for 10 years, and the "unknown" is trademarked.
I've seen posts using that address munge, so they must
have good spam filters, 'cause they need them.

unknown.com is an actual, legitimate domain. If you are not employed by
that
company, and are using their domain to munge your email address, you are
doing them a terrible disservice.

Thanks for the heads up. I had been using the same ficticious
domain since the late 90's, and check it about once a year to
make sure it hasn't become a registered domain. After seeing
your post I decided to try it again, and it's now in use, using
different words, but forming the same combined name. Now
changed. I guess, unless you use total nonsense, it will
eventually be used, maybe even then.

Wierd domain name for a business.

You are referring to 'unknown.com'? You've been checking since the late
'90s? And you missed that it was registered in 1994?

| Domain Name: unknown.com

If a 'whois' check on a domain name in any of the viable TLDs comes up with
NXDOMAIN, that only means a name has not been registered, not that a name
will not be registered. Unless you register a name yourself, you are just
"squatting".

Except if you use one of the TLDs designated as "reserved", as defined in
RFC 2606.

Domain registry records will show when a domain was first registered.

I have several Mail Accounts in Outlook Express.

When I am away from home I sometimes send myself an email with data I want
to keep when I get home. I notice that on these emails, when I look in
Properties, the "From" shows my full name followed by the email address.
On other accounts the "From" field only shows the my email address
(without the account name).

I looked at the mail accounts setup and can find no differences.

Why do some account emails show the account name and others just the email
address? I need to know because I am trying to create filters to filter
out spam seeming to come from me and still let me send myself emails.

Jeff
