Receiving Email not addressed to me

[Guest]

sI keep receiving email addressed to someone else in my office. Our email
addresses consist of our (e-mail address removed). He gets the same email (since
it is addressed to him) but I also get it. It is always some type of spam
and it shows a name in the from and his name in the to. When I check the
options of the email there is no indication of my email address at all - only
his shows.

How do I end up with it? Can anyone help with this or seen this before? It
has just started happening recently. We use Outllook 2002, W2K, MS Exchange
- all current service packs and updates installed.

Thanks for any help.

This means that you've been Bcc'd on the message. Use a rule to delete it
when it comes in.

Thanks for the quick response Brian. I will try the rule.
