Today I received 502 undeliverable emails. See attached. Seems like all addresses start with an 'a' and end with 'dk'. I'm not sure how to handle this. I have deleted them all in Mailwasher. I saved a couple of the addresses and other info in the attachment. Many thanks DICK

I have to presume you don't have an email account in Denmark. That is what .dk means. If these aren't in your Sent folder, they weren't sent from your account. Someone, probably spammers, put your address in the From field. It's done frequently.
It is likely that somebody you know and who has your email address in their contacts has a virus that is propagating itself with your email address in the FROM: line. Of course these cannot be delivered so they will bounce back to you. It is likely that this person doesn't know that he/she has a virus and it is likely that you are not the only person receiving these "Bounce Back" mails. Don't open them, delete them. Other than that there isn't much you can do.

I would suggest you contact Mailwasher support and ask them how you can deal with the problem. Their tech support has been excellent whenever I needed them. I am a registered user with a lifetime license. I don't know what their support policy is if you are using the free version. Mailwasher is a program that should be registered, it is a great program and the author should rewarded for work developing it.
