the other thing is that much of the spam is not even addressed to any of my email accounts - if i open the occasional one, it's more than likely addressed to some other account @ ntlworld - i've never been sure why they come to me ......
To rule out outlook causing the problem, see if you are getting duplicates on webmail. If you're getting them there, it is not outlook. Seeing it is mostly spam, these messages may actually have been sent several times. I had 4 identical spam messages in my webmail this morning, and I get this specific spam almost every day

Regarding them not being addressed to you. They are, but your address is in the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) field, so it doesn't show up.
