Is anybody else receiving bulk mail from their own account?

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: http://whois.domaintools.com/ 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.

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.

This a trick to hack your e-mail. You have to contact Yahoo admins who will ask you to send it to them with certain details. If you live in Egypt and you have certain doubts that someone somewhere might be trying to steal your account and e-mail address, you should contact the IC police. If you already sent your details and password, try to change it now otherwise your account will be stolen.

A hacker is definately making the rounds. Its only a trick. I just delete them.
