I belive that all those addresses are keept in you Outlook Adress Book, 
look there and remove unwanted adresses. There is some option in Outlook 
to automatically add all addresses sent to Address Book -- uncheck it.
And best of all: use Mozilla (Netscape 7), popup-free browser with spam 
filters e-mail client: http://www.mozilla.org
