Who is using my account to send out spam?

I think that someone is using my account to send spam. I keep receiving mailer-demon notices. Can I stop it?

  • Answer:

    This is a trick the spammers use to hide their address, it's called "spoofing". If you open them, it alerts them that your address is active then they send more. Just delete them. This is happening to many at this time. It will stop soon, they move on to other victims. Changing your password or address doesn't help, they still find it.

I have received similar e-mails from a few of my friends (both Hotmail and Yahoo addresses), and I'm worried that this might end up happening to my account. Does ANYBODY know the best way to fix this?

This was happening to me recently too. Nothing I could do stopped it, so I had to delete all my contacts because everyone was tired of getting my spam. I imported my contacts to Google mail. Problem solved.
