Email help

[wesleysgirl]

I'm getting a lot of spam email from what seems to be the same company, despite the fact that the email address it's coming from is always different. The weird thing is that the email isn't actually addressed to me -- it's always addressed to some randomshmoe@my.isp. Why am I getting email that doesn't seem to be addressed to me, and is there some way to block it?

Spouse gets some like that, although he thinks it's actually to a letit addy for him. I'd guess that you're seeing what's in the "to" field, and that your address is in the "bcc" field.

I'm trying Spamarrest on one of my accounts. It's not working perfectly yet, and I haven't decided if I'll keep it. I used Knowspam for quite a while, and liked it, but it recently shut down and directed customers to spamarrest. Those have seemed like the best options. And, with knowspam, and I hope with spamarrest, if you send through their server, they can automatically add people you send to to the approved list, so they don't have to jump through hoops to answer you. But I haven't fussed with spamarrest to see if I can make that work yet.
