Spoofing your E-Mail addressOnce a spammer has your E-Mail address they will use it and pose as you hoping you will click on the advertiement links.
To verify that it was not sent from your E-Mail account:
Click on the E-Mail to select it (not open it)
Right click on it and left click on "Message Options"
Under the Internet headers section, look for:
"Received: from source ([##.219.##.121])"
Send us the received from Source information in an E-Mail and we will check
the source's Internet service provider / mail server information.
We have no way to stop the spammers sending to you - and making it look as
though it is coming from your E-Mail address.
They are usually from another country - Latin America, Europe China etc. and
their ISP's / countries do not see spamming the US as a bad thing.
If in the unlikely event your E-Mail account was sending to conacts in your
contacts list, you would see the same E-Mails that your are receiving from
yourself - sent to others in your sent items folder.
To report the spam to the spam filter provider "Postini" to help them in the detection of such spam.
