Is there any way to disable the feature where Mail.app on OS X 10.6 will automatically add addresses into the address book when replying to an email from someone not in your address book already?

I have looked through the settings and tried to find ways around this on Google but nothing has come up.

Look under the Window menu for the "Previous Recipients". You can view and edit there.

This really is a problem that exists. It occurs if you use a mail server with MS Exchange. The steps to resolve:

  • Open System Preferences
  • Open Internet Accounts
  • Select your Exchange Account
  • Turn Off Contacts for Exchange

You should now see those automatic generated contacts gone. For more information, check out this thread in Apple’s discussion forum.

Killing the list on Window/Previous Recipients will also help, but it's probably not what you want. The auto-complete is practical.
