How can you tell "To" address used for spam?
 

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?

You mean you have multiple addresses for the same mailbox?

The easiest way to pin-point the address would be the create multiple
mailboxes for these addresses. Emails will get sorted for you automatically.

install an event sink on the server that stamps the address in the header.
I use the one from vamsoft.

The Internet headers of the message doesn't tell you?

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.

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?

Go ahead and try it. It's not like it's going to cost you anything.
