How do I send mail to someone?

How can someone use my e-mail address to send me junk mail?

Thanks

  • Answer:

    That's called "Spoofing"----and there's nothing you can do to stop it. Spoofing is the "forgery" of an address, to hide the identity of the sender, and is usually done by an Automatic Spamming system, that "blindly and randomly", runs through addresses in a sequence, (until they finally hit on a valid address). It's not actually coming from or thru your account. (see in your sent folder) One type that's called "Self Spamming"--(go figure)--appears to be coming "from" and going "to" the same address. Anti-spam experts say----There's nothing you can do, except delete them. They are a nuisance, but harmless (as long as you don't click on a link in them)----and "usually" don't last long. If you spam them--you'd only be spamming your own address. Changing your password won't stop spoofing---they aren't using your account---but are just forging the address.
