I have some email aliases (within my normal ISP email framework) which 
direct to my main email address.  My original intention in doing this was to 
be able to ditch a particular alias if it was compromised and got onto spam 
databases.

However when spammers send stuff BCC (with just one person's email address 
showing in the "To" field) I don't seem to be able to determine which of the 
aliases the spammer sent it to.  Has anyone got any suggestions?  (I'm using 
Outlook 2002, SP3).  I thought of giving up on my current ISP and going to 
one that actually gives you several separate email addresses rather than 
just aliases that are collected by your main in-box, but that's a lot of 
hassle if there's a simpler way.
