Hi,

autocompletion comes from several sources:

  * configured addressbooks
  * Recent addresses - i.e. addresses you've sent emails to recently
  * Indexed contacts - contacts indexed from all emails

In KMail -> Settings -> Configure KMail -> Composer -> General you can choose 
which addresbooks to autocomplete from in "Configure Completion ...", and you 
can turn off autocompletion from the indexed contacts by unchecking "Use Baloo 
search for autocompletion". 

The "bizarre" addresses usually come from the Baloo index, I've noticed myself 
that we fail to parse some addresses correctly when indexing them leading to 
all kinds of funny (or broken) suggestions in composer. Unfortunatelly there 
is no way to modify this index - you can only turn it off.

The recent addresses can be managed in the "Configure Completion" dialog.
