I am getting lots spam emails from my email id on same inbox. I changed my password several times but not helping. I also investigate the header it does say my email id but the domain key is different than our email domain. Is there any way to get rid of it?

Spoofing of the sender name is almost mandatory in spamming. Just create a rule, when sender name is yours, move to trash folder.

No. And it has nothing to do with your password. Spammers can put any email address they want in the from box so they feel less people will block their own email address.

I've been getting the same at work for months. Once the bastards get a live email address they never let go. But how often am I going to email myself? I just created a rule to delete anything from me. By the way, the current batch is selling a 'male enhancement' product that is known to be bogus (according to Google search returns) and is being sent out as a "message from Microsoft" with the trademark MS disclaimers in the body of the message. My junk folder gets about 25 to 80 of them a day, and all that I've checked have phony return addresses. They also contain a link that consists of two random words combined into a domain name; some of the combos actually turn out to be rather humorous...

That's a really big number compared to the junk emails I get everyday.

This got bad enough at my office(some users claimed to get hundreds of these daily) that out network guys put new rules on the firewall itself, blocking all incoming emails using our domain names. It was interesting watching the panic when the weekly newsletters went out and marketing didn't get their copy. the guys had to quickly write some exceptions :)

I get hundreds of spam messages on my yahoo account per day. Its a paid account and so I am planning on ending my service in 2 weeks when it renews. [EDIT]It is not their fault however (well other than being worse at spam detection than google) I get a lot of spam because 10 years ago I used to play online free lotto games / paid for reading mail ... [/EDIT]

I just meant that some of our users tend to exaggerate, especially when they are complaining to others internally (watercooler complaints). :) they might have been getting hundreds a day, I never checked their accounts.
