I’ve also caught a glimpse of a fake name in my Entourage address book: “hot_(fill-in-the-blank)@water-pistol.com”! I say glimpse, as I cannot find it again to eradicate it!
In Entourage X and 2004 there is an option in the preferences to clear this
address Cache (Mail & News prefs; Compose tab). You can also (in the same
place) turn off the display of these addresses (but still keep the ‘auto
complete’ of names in your address book).
In both Entourage v9 and in vX individual items can be removed by adding an
entry to the address book that EXACTLY matches the rogue entry in the
history list and then deleting it.
In entourage 2004, hitting the 'junk' button in the toolbar will remove the address of that message from the cache as well.
Alternatively, just wait a few days/weeks. The remembered addresses are
prioritised by age & frequency and the list is limited to a maximum of 200,
so eventually your mistakes will fall out at the bottom.
