There is the visible email id and the actual, internal, email id. Spammers create bogus recipient email ids to make it more difficult for recipients to use traditional filters to spot them.

Thank you so much. We did find one solution that works beautifully. In Thunderbird there is a choice to create a message filter that allows you to delete all email that does NOT HAVE your real email in the TO or CC area. It's under TOOLS in the top bar labeled message filters. I had used Thunderbird's recommended junk filter and this did not work at all. Marlys
