How can I retrieve an e-mail address from spam?

Someone is using my email address as the return address for their Spam?

  • I have a domain name through Yahoo that I purchased a few years ago and have been using as my primary email address since. This email address is linked to my original Yahoo address and I can access it the same as regular Yahoo. About a year ago, I noticed some delivery failures in my inbox and figured my account may have been compromised. I changed my password a few times (and still change it regularly) and since then no more delivery failures. However, I have noticed that someone is using my email address as the return (I contacted Yahoo and they said this is a possibility and it doesn't mean someone is accessing my account, simply that they are manually manipulating the outgoing email to display my address). I have received several emails from "myself" mostly online pharmacy types of scams. The emails have even made it to my other independent Yahoo address. This situation is annoying at best and I really don't want to change my email address, especially since I own the domain name and don't want to give that up. I'm wondering is there any other way to deal with this situation besides changing my address? I appreciate any help.
