I run Outlook Express and keep getting mails sent to myself by myself
Somehow, malicious e - mails being sent to me show my own e-mail name and address as the sender. Within the e-mail, there is usually an interner hyperlink. I use block sender facility, but this does not stop me receiving them. They bypass this by using different URL prefixes
Is there a patch available to cobmat this or has anybody else experienced this problem? Any suggestions on how to get rid of this problem would be appreciated. Please advise

Someone is probably spoofing the sender in these messages - if you view the
full message headers, you should be able to figure out where the mail is
coming from - perhaps your ISP can help you.

Also note -
This is a group to support Outlook from the Office group of programs.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and is a quite different
program, despite its similar name..

You will probably get a faster and more expert answer if you post this to an
Outlook Express news group.

Try posting in one of these newsgroups:
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie5.outlookexpress for OE 5.x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie55.outlookexpress for OE 5.5x
microsoft.public.windows.inetexplorer.ie6_outlookexpress for OE 6.x
microsoft.public.internet.outlookexpress.mac for OE for Macintosh

If those groups aren't carried on the news server that's carrying this group
try using msnews.microsoft.com (MS's public news server that's the source
for all the microsoft.public newsgroups).

A good website for information on OE is:
