I have recently been deluged with emails marked "Delivery Status
Notification" or similar (maybe 20-30 a day).

Are these DSNs for messages you yourself tried to send, or are they
perhaps the result of some spammer or virus spoofing your e-mail
address as sender?

The latter. I'm not sure if it's a spammer or virus.


Is it possible to create a rule in outlook which deletes all mails
apart from those addressed to specific addresses (e.g. abc@..com
and zyx@..com)?

Not likely - I can't imagine how you'd keep that list maintained
anyway. You don't mention your version of Outlook, but if you're
using OL2003 you might use a search folder (query) to identify and
deal with all such messages - so you can delete them en masse.

I'm using OL2002

So you don't have search folders, but you could still create a rule
to delete all these messages or move them to another folder.

Each of the DSN's is addressed to a different three/four letter
prefix of my email address (e.g. hrvx@....com, dpmx@....com) so I can
move them manually but I can't imagine a rule that would do this.

I think you can use a rule that looks for hrvx@ in the message
headers....but I'd probably look at the sender instead (system
administrator).

The from and the to email address' are always different. The only thing they
always have in common is my domain.

My email is configured to pick up anything @ my domain.net




btw thanks for your interest



Also can this same rule be used in OE as I use that at home?

No - rules are entirely different in OE.

Thank you
