Default How can you tell "To" address used for spam?

Be sure that you're looking for a recipient address that's in the
envelope--some SMTP servers will tell you that in the header, and not the to
address in the message header itself, which can be very different. That is,
I can use telnet to port 25 to send you a message that looks like it was
sent to Bill Gates. That's basically how BCC works, leaving the blind
recipients out of the message headers.

Thanks for the tip. For html messages, I found the internet header in the
message window under View\Options. It does show the "To" address there.
Not an intuitive place. Much easier than tracing. Thanks again.

The Internet headers of the message doesn't tell you?

I have a few exchange email addresses on my account. Spam level is to
the point that I want to delete the affected account. How can I tell
which address is being used?
