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.


Wait, you mean I'm *not* going to get money from Bill Gates if I forward
that message to 100 people?

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. "Ed Crowley [MVP]" wrote in message

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?
