It’s weird, at 1st I was receiving bulk mail from e-mail accounts similar to mine and now I’m receiving them from my own account but I’m not sending them. Is it possible some sort of hacking is involved? Is anybody else having this problem? How can I stop it? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!
Is anybody else receiving bulk mail from their own account?

Report it to:
Yes! I am getting it too. I guess this is just the latest way to “spoof” email. I don’t think we can stop it… only Yahoo can stop it. They can detect when an sender’s email address doesn’t match up with where it really came from so they could go all out and delete it or flag it somehow. But they are already sending it to your spam folder and that’s what I think most people would want.
Probably no hacking involved, but change your password just in case.
What is probably going on is the person or automated spam program is changing the Reply To field to your email address so it looks like it came from your account. In the email at the bottom right hand corner you will see Full Headers, click on that and where it says X-Originating-IP: there will be the IP address where it came from. Copy that to your clipboard then go here: and paste the IP address in the box and click lookup.
On the next page there should be an abuse email, forward them a copy with the headers and the guilty party should get punished.
Hope this helps.
A hacker is definately making the rounds. Its only a trick. I just delete them.
