| 876887 | 2010-04-15 12:52:00 | How do 'Mail Delivery Subsystem' emails get into Outlook Express when I am using Mailwasher? They do not appear in Mailwasher but when I have sorted and processed my emails through MW the last two mornings, I have found one in my Inbox. Any ideas? And should I be worried about further nefarious deeds??? I've read a bit about how the addresses are found but couldn't find any satisfactory description of their intent. Thanks. |

| 876889 | 2010-04-16 00:10:00 | You would normally be able to see all messages in Mailwasher. The exception to this is if you have in the Friends Options button, unticked 'Display emails received from friends' so people in your friends list won't be shown. Have you whitelisted your ISP by any chance as that will be where the returned messages will be coming from. |

| 876890 | 2010-04-16 04:51:00 | My 'friends list' is ticked OK. Is it terribly dumb not knowing what 'whitelisted' means? There is only one mention of it in the Help section of MW and it is no help at all. I definitely have a blacklist and a friends list and a place for filters and a virus warnings button - whitelist - dunno where that is?? This is what appears in the Details tab of the offending email. One slid in this afternoon when I was thinking, "Ha! They've gone!"

| 876891 | 2010-04-16 04:54:00 | Did you send an email to an non existent email addy?? Thats what that message usually means. The flatmate got the same thing, because the email address didnt exist, so it came back and told her | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 876892 | 2010-04-16 21:12:00 | Hi katharinem When Mailwasher bounces blacklisted mail after you click the process mail button, and before Mailwasher loads your e-mail account, sometimes the returned "Mail delivery address unknown" e-mail arrives in your inbox. This sometimes happens to me using Thunderbird. I just delete them without opening them. |

| 876893 | 2010-04-16 21:25:00 | Spammers sometimes send out emails with your address in the from field and as a result you will receive all the undelivered emails. Not much you can do about it, just delete any that come through. |
