I get probably 15 e-mails daily form aliases of Microsoft claiming to be
e-mailing be a "critical update" - I know it's BS, so they immediately get
deleted. I assume there is no way to stop this other than not replying in
anyway and hope they'll go away.

however, I also get about 10 e-mail daily from e-mail "administrator"
accounts which say that my e-mail to so-and-so could not be delivered. This
e-mail target is not in my add'y book. What gives, and what can I do
besides add them to junk senders list?
 
yeah- since (probably foolishly) using my email on a microsof
forum/newsgroup i have been recieveing this type of junk too. alway
about 150k in size. these take up lots of space in my hotmail inbox
and are really annoying. ive wound up blocking such adresses as *@ao
etc etc. its like someone is using my account to mass mail people o
something
