Something’s wrong with my email account!!, It keeps sending spam through my account to all of my contacts!!
Here’s the spam mail:

It is realy a good chance for shopping.just grasp the opportunity,Now or never! The web address: www.ixicb.com you can have a look ,it’s very nice!

I’m having the same problem. I also have a Yahoo domain. They said there’s nothing they can do about it. That doesn’t make sense to me. I even replied to one of the spam emails that was sent from me, to me, and I got it! I changed my password but it didn’t help. I’m going to change my domain provider. If there wasn’t a way to stop it or prevent it from happening, EVERYONE wold have this problem. This is very frustrating.

i have yahoo and the same thing happened to me. i only found out because one of my other email addresses was listed as a contact and got the spam. i panicked and then realized i could just get all my contact information back by copying from the spam email then i emailed all of them and apologized. I’m not aware of any solutions and i will probably delete my account but i don’t think that it’s hacked it’s just some company has spoofed your email address.

I also know someone who had the exact same problem. First thing you would want to do is change the password of your email account, then do full virus / malware scans of your computer.

I added an “X” to the beggining of all my contact e-mail addresses and currently all my contacts are bogus. I yet have to find a real solution for this…
