How is someone using my email address to send spam, even after I change my pass word over and over.?
-
every now and then I get an email from myself that is spam, now, in the last three days, I have had 20+ Delivery failure replys for emails that I never sent. I have changed my pass word a few times now,and it keeps seeming to get worse.

Answer:
Seems like you have a virus on your computer that logs your passwords. So even if you change it, the hacker will still get your pass. I suggest you run a full-system scan and remove it. That will fix the problem.

I get that once in a while. I don't think it's anything drastic. There are little bits of code called "bots" that roam the internet and "read" webpages. If your address has ever been posted on a webpage, it can be read and reported back to spammers as an email address. Then your address gets used as the alleged sender. As far as I know you can't do anything about it.
