Right user name wrong provider
I keep getting emails sent to my user name but the wrong provider. Like my account would be ghayes48@gmail.com but the emails I get are to ghayes48@aol.com or even just my name@aol.com. Is there any way to stop these spam emails from coming in to my mail? Alternately can I aim them to spam automatically?

If you have an account at Gmail, the only way that you can receive an email at that account if if the message is sent to the gmail.com server. Here is an explanation of what is probably going on:
Since the message was actually sent to your Gmail address (although you can't tell that in the To or Cc fields since they used BCC), it's not possible to easily block all such messages unless you want to not allow your friends and businesses to use BCC. You should just mark spammy messages as spam and delete them. If you get on a valid commercial mailing list, use the unsubscribe link at the bottom or inform the sender that you don't want such messages. But if you see your username at a different domain in To, it's pretty obvious it's spam and it's best to just delete it without replying. Bill |
