I would suggest that someone has got into your email account, Moggy, not uncommon I'm afraid. My wife's father keeps sending her emails asking if she wants to buy any sex aids. ;D

Anyone can send an email apparently from a different user.

Only by checking the headers can you really begin to tell....

It's more important to change your password if they've hacked your account.

Thats why they send stuff apparently from you.  You just need a better spam filter.

If its your own domain, set up a proper SPF.

Either way, use a blacklist service in your spam filter.
