Default Unwanted messages to fake identities on my Outlook Express account

I missed one important step. :-(
The rule needs to be changed to if it is not from address1 or address2, or
address3...............Delete or move to a folder.

I'll risk showing my ignorance but I have to ask if "adding everyone in
your
Address Book to a rule" that deletes the message from the server is what
you
really are recommending. Won't that delete all emails from anyone in
their
Address Book? That’s a little drastic to get rid of spam. Surely I must
be misinterpreting this posting. Help me see what I am missing.

Thanks,

Tom

You or your wife's email address was in the Bcc field.
The only way to not get the email is to create a message rule, Where the
email is from 'specific' address, Delete from server (or move to a spam
folder and stop processing more rules). You have to add everyone in your
Address Book to the rule.
Any new addresses will have to be added to the rule.

I am receiving hundreds of e-mail to ficticious identities in my OE
account.
They can consist of random collections of letters and/or numbers. I
actually
have just two identies - me and my wife. Someone else seems to have
generated these "names". How can I stop this?
