880701 2010-05-01 22:49:00 I would use Gmail instead. Forget about Hotmail

I use OE & Gmail. I do not have Hotmail activated. Maryann has Livemail on her laptop, we use the same Orcon address.

The Spam is all Hotmail.com.

The senders address is a made up name or a jumble of letters .com.

How does it get into OUR Orcon address. I dont understand that bit. PJ

The reason it gets to your Orcon address is because it was addressed to you .
You can't receive an email unless your address is on it somewhere .
Just because you can't see your address does not mean it is not in the BCC field along with hundreds of other email addresses .

880703 2010-05-01 23:02:00 Its probably sent (to anyone), at random by whoever the spammer is. Cant do much about it

There's no point in sending them to some hotmail report place, if there's no email addy in the from window.

Its probably picked up your orcon email (if you post it on any sites you go to)

OK Thanks

Just as a PS. This spam does not appear in the Livemail window, only OE. PJ
