Thanks for your reply.
I am familiar with all three articles and have my rules set up according
to
them. They have always worked very well. I have my rules set up to delete
all letters which do not contain my email address and then to stop
prossessing rules. It works fine. That is not my problem....

I wanted to know why this would have suddenly started and how I can get
myself off whatever list or lists cause all these ne wletters to be sent.
Or
at least how to prevent getting on even more such lists over time.

Thanks.
J.

I suddenly started getting a huge amount of spam not addressed to my
email
address (I'm not in the TO: line). They are all to different addresses.
I
don't know if there is any connection, but it started after I used my
service provider's website to view my mail when I was on vacation. What
can
have caused this and is there a way to stop getting these letters? At
present I have a message rule to delete them, but I would rather not get
them. Can't have them deleted at server because of my AVG. In any case I
sometimes do get wanted letters not addressed to me, so I would like to
find something common to all the new ones that will allow me to deal
with
them separately.
