Ghost in the machine?

[joanne]

I have Outlook 2002. My hard drive crashed last week, we
trashed it and added a new one. I had to import an old
address book into Outlook express on our computer, and
then import from there to Outlook 2002. the problem is I
have a group contact list I send to, and there seems to be
a ghost in the machine..we cannot find this email address
anywhere on my computer, yet the group continues to try to
send to this now-defunct email address. Is there a way to
search out email addresses and delte them? The normal
select recipients/add/delete obviously won't work because
we cannot locate the email address - we never added it in
as far as we can tell. Does this make sense? Here is the
error message we got
(e-mail address removed) on Tue, 13 Jul 2004 17:04:05 -0400
The recipient name is not recognized
The MTS-ID of the original message is:

Thanks, but maybe I wasn't clear -
this info is for Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0 and 5.5..
Not outlook 2002. The two were designed to enhance each
other and work together as a server (exchange) and a
robust mail client (outlook) solution. - We don't use
exchange.

That's why a lot of exchange information is given to
outlook searches. We do not have an exchange server, Your
outlook 2002 is set up for internet mail only. So any
reference to exchange regarding the phantom email is not
usable because no mail is sent by us through an exchange
server. Tycoelectronics may in fact have a mail server
producing this message, the problem is that we are sending
an email to a non existing email account on that server.
We have to stop the message from going out to that address
that produces the error message, but since we cannot find
that ghost email we can't stop getting the error messag.e

We think it is not a server issue. The problem I think is
corrupt data in the address that book we imported.

Thoughts?
