You are not the source
someone who has your email address in their address book is infected
and using randomly generated names based on domains in the address book, and
your name as the reply to address
there isnt much you can do about it

Hello. Spam messages appear to be going out from my OE account to a
random
variety of addresses. The "From" part of the messages employ the second
part
of my e-mail address ) but the first part is usually just
a
jumble of random numbers.

These messages are either going to random non-existent addresses or they
are
being blocked by spam filters. Either way they bounce back to me and I am
sick of it.

Is there any way I can stop these messages being sent?

Also, I have been thinking of cancelling my OE account since I rarely use
it
for genuine mail (99% of my Inbox is spam) and I use a web-based e-mail
program for most of my mail needs. How exactly do you cancel an OE
account?

Many thanks

JOHN
