spam

I've been inundated with spam over the past week which appears to have come from my email address, at least its my email address in the 'from' box. It is obviously getting past my filters which seem pretty efficient at catching everything else. I'm loathe to add it to 'blocked' senders for obvious reasons. Any ideas?

I've been having that too - I just mark it as spam and throw it out. It is annoying, but when you have an e-mail address as old as mine it is inevitable I fear. There is no point in blocking it as the real address is not your own of course, and it will still come in.

This might help explain it.
