Spam - sent to correct domain, fake user name

[SuzBos]

I am getting swamped with email sent to my correct domain, but to a fake
username. I have these routed to my JUNK folder, but I want to stop the
influx and can not find where to do so. I went to the ISP and under their
"SquirrelMail" I found that you can blacklist from specific domains, but that
won't work because the domain is correct! How can I block receiving mail
from any incorrect username at my domain? This is frustrating because they
are coming in hundreds from all different email addresses. (I can't block a
specific sender because there is no pattern here.) The messages appear to be
all bounced mail (Barracuda bounces, for example.) I'm at a loss of what to
do or where to go. Help!!

In what kind of Outlook configuration?

The situation may be resolved.

After posting this message I FINALLY was able to reach tech help for the
ISP. They did something to filters and that eliminated the problem. Thank
you for your response.
