Message: [QUOTE="Barry Wainwright, post: 6753147"] pretty much every single time I have seen this it is due to an accidental entry in the Mailing List Manager. the trouble is that the dialog that pops up when you click on the link to 'unjunk' a mail that the junk mail filter has marked as junk has several options. One of these says (or did in 2004) 'create a mailing list rule to handle messages like this'. this text is misleading. It actually creates a Mailing List Manager entry and this is the ONLY place such an entry is described as a rule. If th euser selects this option, expecting to handle only messages from the sender of the message in question, a MLM rule is created that assumes that _your_ email address is a mailing list and the rule will handle every mail sent to you! The default settings in the rule move all the mail addressed to you to the local inbox, and most people who accidentally create such a rule don't change these default settings. [/QUOTE]
