Worms do that. There's an easy way to prevent that. Make an address book
entry beginning with "!" as the name. Use something like
for the email address. That address is not valid as far as I know. Now
make another address book entry, this time the name begins with "Z". Now
if you get a worm mailer, it will surely start at the beginning or the
end of your address book. When it tries to send to either of these two
addresses at the top or bottom, of the list, you should get a message pop
from Outlook Express or Outlook. I don't know about other mailers but
something similar should happen.
Not really as those worms come with their own mail server, they don't use
Outlook (Express) to actually send the email. They dont even use the ISPs
mail servers to avoid detection.

So you're saying all worms are created to operate the same way. I think
not. What I described has happened in the past. I did not simply dream it
up, and experts have recommended precisely what I suggested.
