The analogy would be someone sending a letter and using your address as the return-address on the envelope. Even though they don't live at your house, there's nothing really stopping them from using any address in the return address. Then, if the recipient doesn't exist and the letter is "Returned to Sender", it will end up in your mailbox. However, as with snail mail, there are clues which will indicate the true origin of the mail. But for these return receipts, theres not much more that you can do other than continue to delete them. If you prefer, you can create a filter in your EmailAdmin or in your Email Client to trash them for you. Hope this helps, Tim Hi Darryl,
