    you can use any email address you like to send a mail, you just put it in as your email address in your account settings, and outlook will take your word for it

    the password you set up is purly to recieve your mails


    more then likely there is probably no one sending this, its just a script/virus running on someones pc sending message to "a"@pc-owners-email-address and from "a"@pc-owners-email-address where a steps up from the number 0 to the letters ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ


    difficult to block this one, but some spam app must stop them
