He receives email (he uses Outlook) from varying yahoo addresses which is spam (the content is only a URL. But the issue is that the "to" address is not his. His address is name@bigpond.com, but the recipient address is name@hotmail.com. The yahoo and hotmail "name"s are arbitrary string of characters, which display as genuine looking names. Can anyone explain to me how this is done, and whether there is anything I can do about it? Thanks,
