    It's just spam. People don't block their own address. Some mass spam mail programs send mail to someone@somewhere.com and use someone@somewhere.com as fake sent from address

    so you mean he use outlook express to send me emails in my same email addres.

    please let me know some more details, is it possible to send email by some one in my same email address.

    so do i have to worry about this situation or no need to worry about this, because i am getting emails in my SPAM FOLDER only by my email address.

    i already change my strong password. but still worry about this situation. Please let me know.

    thanks.

    Hi tester2,

    I don't know if this explains your problem as it is not very clear to me, if I send an email from Gmail directly, it appears in my Windows Live Mail Inbox.

    It is very easy to spoof a 'sent from' email address. The email wasn't actually sent from your account. Your account is safe You might be able to forward the email to yahoo, they can probably tell who the actual sender is.

    hi gys thanks for your replies,

    i notice when i reply to other peoples then i have to enter a string of characters or capichono like "4WhLm" etc, then i can send the email successfully.

    so the same way how i can do this string capichono, the sender to me has to type a string "K8hPq" etc, so what i have to do, for asking his to type string before he send me an email.

    please let me know this procedure, where i have to go to do in my email account settings.

    thanks

    Captcha? You have to do that when sending replies to emails? Hmmm, that is odd. I don't know why that is, or how to use it

    EDIT: In searching I see that new accounts have to fill in the Captcha until Yahoo is convinced you are not a spammer/bot. With established accounts, it seems to be when they have reports of unusual activity from an account. Perhaps in your case, what "appears" to come from your account.

    You might want to contact support, you shouldn't have to fill out a Captcha every time you email.
