You could make a special folder, then make a Mail Rule that moves all mail have the name
"postmaster" in the FROM header to that folder. This would cleanup your inbox and still allow you
to check (if you want) for any valid mail rejections. Then periodically just delete that folder
and make a replacement for the next batch. It will clear up eventually.

Thank you, Norman. Let's hope it doesn't take 3 months

I use Outlook Express 6. Since visiting French web pages to book a holiday,
I am receiving up to 20 emails a day saying delivery failure, all with

sent these messages. Can anyone help please?
That is typical of a spammer using your email address as the sender
email address in a spam run, or some virus using your email address as
the sender. It might not even be related to your visit to the web site.
You could run Anti Virus and Anti Trojan applications to very that your
computer is not infected. Other than that, all that you can do is wait
it out. It usually subsides anywhere from a couple of weeks after the
onset, up to three months after.
