Why am I getting so much offensive email after switching to Windows Mail
from Outlook Express? I am the only user to this pc as I was to the old pc.
I keep blocking those domain names.

It is not from switching to WinMail. Either someone with your address on
their hard drive or a spammer got hold of it.

Probably because a spammer or other offensive mail sender has gotten
your correct email address, and keeps changing the return address she, he,
or it uses to keep you from blocking the offensive mail. Some email
programs used by spammers are designed to use incorrect return
addresses and keep changing them.

Using your correct return address when posting to newsgroups makes it
easy for spammers to use a robot program to find your email address.
 
Thank you but the email address I use in newsgroups is not the same address
I am getting x-rated emails from.
