Hello,

I have Outlook 2003 and I am wondering "How can I stop getting other peoples
e-mail address" I received e-mail address that does not belong to me for
example (e-mail address removed) or other strange address. Is there a way to stop
that using Outlook 2003 filters. If so how do I do it. Or do I need to buy
a program that stops that? All I want is to received my e-mail using only
my e-mail address. Any advice will be appreciate.Thank you.
 
You can either set your Junk E-mail Filter to a higher level or configure a
rule to move all messages that are not send to you directly to the Junk
folder.

Well now you've just posted to Usenet using (I presume) your real email
address, you'll get LOADS more spam!

If you get a message that doesn't show your e-mail address in the TO or CC
fields, you were BCC'd. You can't stop someone from doing that - and
remember, nothing you can do in Outlook will stop the mail from being
*received* in the first place, as OL can handle stuff only after it has hit
your inbox.

You can use all sorts of antispam software that can help keep the junk out
of your Inbox, though. I personally like SpamBayes (google it).
