Don't know how this happens - half of the junk I've been getting is addressed to entirely different persons with different addresses, and lately a lot of them haven't even been in the Roman alphabet - I mean they're in Cyrillic or something so they couldn't have my name or address. How is this happening? What can I do about it?

Argh. I already have security set on exclusive. Ah...this is just another thing in life I can't control. When will I get used to it? ;)

Thanks again.

If you forward to your mail through a Gmail account, the Gmail spam filter
will stop most of this from getting to your Entourage account.

I think I got the answer to this in my Junk Email schedule thread, which got somewhat off-topic - my apologies, but it just kind of bled over as I began learning about it from all the cool teachers here.

Apparently the junk emails get "wrapped" or something so they're disguised. I don't understand it, but I guess it's a way to get around filters.
