Some viruses grab addresses from infected computers' address books, and then they send out spam using the addresses they grab. So if someone has you in their address book and they get infected, then the virus sends out messages from you and so you get the kicked back messages. You can't do much except filter out anything not specifically to you (you can set up a message rule to stop processing more rules if the message is to you and then set up another one to move all other messages to a junk folder that you can screen). steve <motorcitymike> wrote in message news:Email removed for privacy...Why am i getting delivery errrors from email addresses that i dont even have in my address book and that i never sent
