I am getting undeliverable emails to people I have not sent emails to and who are not in my address book. I got more than 50 today. The sender name is always different with my email address in < >. One person has emailed me to stop sending her emails. What can I do to stop this?

Thanks, George

What can you do to stop it? Nothing now. They have your address. They will get bored with you soon and move on to the next scammed address. Google Email Backscatter for a description of what is happening and be protective of your email address. Do not post it in a public forum and think twice about sites that require it to sign up.
