Spam coming from "MY" email addy?

Every now & then I get junk mail that seemingly comes from "my" yahoo mail. I know this is just spammers getting around sending from their mailbox, but how do I get this to stop?

I can't flag it as spam since the sender is (byspammer default) ...ME!

Why does Yahoo allow this garbage to filter into their system? And how do I get this to stop, barring changing an email addy I've had for 12 years?

Update:

___________________________________________________________________________

I just rec'd this from Yahoo customer care. Seems the spammer copied them when they mailed me...

    Block that person out. Is the 1st step. You deliver it to the identity Stephen says. it rather is consistently stable to enable Yahoo understand. I easily have long previous via it. Yahoo mails back to assert we'd desire to consistently block them and such. and that's what I do at the instant. it rather is transforming into very hassle-free. Hate mails. I had somebody accusing me of giving him a "Thumbs Down"! He cares lots approximately it! childrens all.
